Reader error in determining minimal inhibitory concentrations with microdilution susceptibility test panels

A L Barry et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1981 Jan.

Abstract

Microdilution susceptibility test panels were independently read by two different technologists. One or more discrepancies between readers occurred with 5% of the 25,022 recorded minimal inhibitory concentrations, but only 0.4% of the tests varied by greater than or equal to 2 dilution intervals.
