Performance of three commercial assays for colistin susceptibility in clinical isolates and Mcr-1 carrying reference strain

Conclusion: Micronaut-S was found to be an acceptable method for colistin AST. In contrast, E-test was unreliable in terms of EA. Vitek-2 was found to be reliable for colistin AST, although it was more prone to CE near the colistin breakpoints.
