Abstract
Determining a single MIC of an antimicrobial agent that is not included on a routine susceptibility panel can be significantly time-consuming and costly. The UniScept MICRO-MIC, the JustOne, and the E test are single-MIC systems. These systems as well as disk diffusion were compared on the bases of time, cost, and ease of use.
