Agreement (within±1 log2 dilution) between the Etest and the reference method was 70% for susceptible strains and 100% for resistant strains. No major errors resulting in misclassification in susceptibility or resistance categories were detected for the Etest MIC method. It is suggested that the Etest is easy to perform and is an accurate method for determining susceptibility of MAC strains to clarithromycin. © 1996 The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Brief reports nationallicence Lebrun Léa Service de Bactéreiologie-Virologie, Hôpital Antoine Béclè;re Clamart Faculté de Medecine Paris-Sud 157 rue de la Porte de Trivaux 92141 Clamart Cédex, France aut Onody Catherine Service de Bactéreiologie-Virologie, Hôpital Antoine Béclè;re Clamart Faculté de Medecine Paris-Sud 157 rue de la Porte de Trivaux 92141 Clamart Cédex, France aut Vincent Véronique Centre National de Référence des Mycobactéries, Institut Pasteur 75015 Paris, France aut Nordmann Patrice Centre National de Référence des Mycobactéries, Institut Pasteur 75015 Paris, France aut Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 37/5(1996-05), 999-1003 0305-7453 37:5<999 1996 37 jac https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/37.5.999 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 brief-communication jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/37.5.999 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Lebrun Léa Service de Bactéreiologie-Virologie, Hôpital Antoine Béclè;re Clamart Faculté de Medecine Paris-Sud 157 rue de la Porte de Trivaux 92141 Clamart Cédex, France aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Onody Catherine Service de Bactéreiologie-Virologie, Hôpital Antoine Béclè;re Clamart Faculté de Medecine Paris-Sud 157 rue de la Porte de Trivaux 92141 Clamart Cédex, France aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Vincent Véronique Centre National de Référence des Mycobactéries, Institut Pasteur 75015 Paris, France aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Nordmann Patrice Centre National de Référence des Mycobactéries, Institut Pasteur 75015 Paris, France aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 37/5(1996-05), 999-1003 0305-7453 37:5<999 1996 37 jac Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
