Abstract
panel showed 0.3% mE, 1.4% ME, and 0.4% VME when EUCAST criteria were used (VME with respect to gentamicin and Staphylococcus) and 0.4% mE, 1.4% ME, and no VME when CLSI criteria were used. The FASTinov flow cytometry kits represent a rapid alternative for direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing from positive BC, showing time to results of <2 h, and can be used to personalize antibiotic and stewardship practices.
