Antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
| Bacteria/antibiotics | Total | Resistogram | Agreement | No. of errors | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | I | R | VME | ME | mE | |||
| S. aureus/OXA | 32 | 17 | 0 | 15 | 30 (93.8%) | 1 (6.7%) | 1 (5.9%) | 0 |
| E. coli/CTX | 43 | 30 | 0 | 13 | 40 (93.0%) | 0 | 0 | 3 (7.0%) |
| Total | 75 | 47 | 0 | 28 | 70 (93.3%) | 1 (3.6%) | 1 (2.1%) | 3 (4%) |
The numbers of blood-culture S. aureus and E. coli isolates under SERS-AST are 32 and 43, respectively. The antibiotic used for S. aureus is oxacillin (OXA), while that for E. coli is cefotaxime (CTX). S, I and R stand for susceptible, intermediate and resistant, respectively. The percentages of categorized agreement and very major error (VME), major error (ME) and minor error (mE) are the numbers in their respective parentheses.
