Evaluation of the Autobac 1 Susceptibility Testing System in a Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory

¹ Divisions of Medical Microbiology and Medicine, and Department of Laboratories, University of Toronto, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1X5

ABSTRACT

The Autobac 1 system was compared to the disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. Overall, there was good correlation; however, certain antibiotic/bacterial combinations gave unreliable results. In particular, unreliable results were obtained against staphylococci with penicillins, aerobic gram-negative rods with cephalothin, and enterococci with cephalothin and clindamycin.
