Since its beginning in 1974 over 180 laboratories have participated in the Microbiology Program of The College of American Pathologists Quality Assurance Service submitting a total of 2,372,000 individual antibiotic determinations on three quality control reference stains. Eighty-nine and five tenths percent of these determinations were obtained using the standard Bauer-Kirby method; 8.4% using the agar overlay modification of Barry and associates. Standard statistical analysis of data obtained using the Bauer-Kirby method have been reported for each antimicrobic/reference strain combination. Comparisons have been made between the QAS data and those data obtained in earlier collaborative studies which currently serve as precision and accuracy control limits. In many cases QAS data exceed the existing control limits.
自1974年启动以来，超过180个实验室参与了美国病理学家学会质量保证服务的微生物学项目，共对三种质量控制参考菌株进行了237.2万次单独的抗生素测定。其中89.5%的测定采用标准的鲍尔-柯比方法；8.4%采用巴里及其同事改良的琼脂覆盖法。已报告了使用鲍尔-柯比方法获得的数据针对每种抗菌药物/参考菌株组合的标准统计分析结果。已将质量保证服务（QAS）数据与早期协作研究中获得的数据进行了比较，这些早期数据目前用作精密度和准确度控制限。在许多情况下，QAS数据超出了现有的控制限。
