Manual and automated reading of bacterial antibiograms showed a 11.14% non-concordance in diameter measurements. Square Petri dishes and specific bacterial groups like Enterobacteriaceae improved reliability in antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Clinical Diagnostics
  • Medical Technology

Context:

  • Accurate antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is crucial for guiding antimicrobial therapy.
  • Manual interpretation of antibiograms can be subjective and prone to errors.
  • Automated systems aim to improve the consistency and accuracy of AST results.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the concordance between manual and automated (SIRSCAN camera) reading of bacterial antibiograms.
  • To assess the reliability of different methods and materials in AST.
  • To identify factors influencing discordance in antibiotic susceptibility results.

Summary:

  • A study involving 1162 bacterial strains across four centers compared manual and SIRSCAN camera readings of antibiograms.
  • 11.14% of diameter measurements showed non-concordance at a 3 mm level, with a mean difference of 0.82 mm.

  • Square Petri dishes yielded more reliable results than round dishes, and specific bacterial groups (Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus) showed lower S/R discordance (0.93%).

    • Impact:

    • Highlights potential discrepancies in antibiotic susceptibility testing, impacting clinical decision-making.
    • Suggests improvements in AST methodology, favoring square Petri dishes and optimized reading techniques.
    • Provides data on the performance of automated reading systems in diverse bacterial populations.
