The very major and major errors were related to false susceptibility and false resistance results, respectively.
In the second sample, however, AST agreed on the more resistant DST results, thereby proving the initial false susceptibility.
False resistance to imipenem was documented in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, A. baumanni, Proteus mirabilis whereas false susceptibility was reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae [ 2, 24, 25].
Several recent proficiency testing studies have shown problems of both false resistance and false susceptibility with imipenem and meropenem among a variety of enteric species (11, 12).
Up to our knowledge this is the first description of considerable false susceptibility results to imipenem in A. baumannii by an automated system.
False susceptibility was not observed for any of the 19 culture-positive samples for which the interpretations by clinical staff were available.
