Evaluación de la susceptibilidad directa desde hemocultivos positivos utilizando el sistema Vitek 2: comparación de dos protocolos rápidos

Abstract

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing using Vitek® 2 (bioMérieux) cards inoculated directly from positive blood cultures was compared with the standard method for gramnegative rods. Two different protocols for the inoculum preparation were evaluated. Protocol 2 was faster and easier to perform. Rapid susceptibility testing was accurate and reduced time to results in 24 h.
