Background Data from a multicenter clinical study with Enterobacterales, Salmonella spp. and P. aeruginosa on a MicroScan Dried Gram-negative MIC (MSDGN) Panel was evaluated with updated US FDA/CLSI levofloxacin breakpoints. MIC results were compared to results obtained with frozen broth microdilution panels prepared according to CLSI methodology. Methods A total of 839 Enterobacterales, Salmonella spp. and P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were tested at three clinical sites in efficacy and challenge combined. MSDGN panels were evaluated with turbidity and Prompt® methods of inoculation. MIC values obtained from the MSDGN panels were compared to MICs utilizing a CLSI broth microdilution reference panel. To assess reproducibility, a subset of 15 organisms were tested on MSDGN panels at each site. MSDGN panels were incubated at 35 ± 1ºC and read on the WalkAway System, the autoSCAN-4 instrument, and visually. Read times for the MSDGN panels were at 16-20 hours. Frozen reference panels were prepared and read according to CLSI methodology. FDA and CLSI breakpoints (µg/mL) used for interpretation of MIC results were: Enterobacterales ≤ 0. 5 S, 1 I, ≥ 2 R; Salmonella spp. ≤ 0.12 S, 0.25-1 I, ≥ 2 R; P. aeruginosa ≤ 1 S, 2 I, ≥ 4 R. Results Essential and categorical agreement were calculated compared to frozen reference panel results. Results for isolates tested during efficacy and challenge with Prompt inoculation and manual read are as follows: Conclusion Levofloxacin MIC results for Enterobacterales, Salmonella spp., and P. aeruginosa obtained with the MSDGN panel correlate well with MICs obtained using frozen reference panels using updated FDA/CLSI interpretive criteria in this multicenter study. * PROMPT® is a registered trademark of 3M Company, St. Paul, MN USA.
