Abstract: In 2002, the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) decided to collect large numbers of international minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) distributions for all bacterial species and agents. To complete the standardisation and harmonisation of… read more here.

Abstract: There is a clear need for a high-quality broth microdilution (BMD) assay for quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) [1]. The BMD plate developed by the CRyPTIC Consortium, therefore, represents… read more here.
