| Popis: | The ability of seventy clinical laboratories in nine European countries to detect glycopeptide resistance in Gram-positive bacteria was investigated. Results of routine tests were compared with those on the same strains by a reference method in national co-ordinating laboratories. In addition, control strains were tested by some of the participants. Errors in reporting susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to teicoplanin and vancomycin and coagulase-negative staphylococci to vancomycin were |
