Performance Evaluation of the Gradient Diffusion Strip Method and Disk Diffusion Method for Ceftazidime –Avibactam Against Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Dual-Center Study

Conclusion: The gradient diffusion strip method can meet the needs of clinical microbiological laboratories for testing the susceptibility of ceftazidime–avibactam drugs. However, the VME rate > 1.5% (5.45%) by the disk diffusion method. By comparison, the performance of the gradient diffusion strip method was better than that of the disk diffusion method.
