Table 3 Isolates with VME or ME (by any commercial BMD test) and their corresponding MICs (µg/ml)

From: The accuracy of four commercial broth microdilution tests in the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration of colistin

Isolates BMD reference standarda Sensititre™ (VME n = 5, ME n = 0) SensiTest™ (VME n = 3, ME = 0) UMIC (VME n = 2, ME = 1) Micronaut (VME n = 3, ME = 0)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 0.5 0.5 ≤ 0.25 4 2
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 8 1 1 1 1
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 64 4 > 16 > 64 0,5
