Objective To evaluate the performance of VITEK 2 COMPACT automatic bacterial identification system(VITEK 2C) plus AST GN-13 for the susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii to amikacin.Methods Three methods [broth microdilution(BMD),Kirby-Bauer(KB),and VITEK 2C]were used to determine the susceptibility of amikacin to 38 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii,and then the performances of VITEK 2C and KB were evaluated by using BMD as a reference method.Genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes ...
