False results showing an outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with resistance to imipenem were traced to a defective lot of microdilution MIC testing panels. These panels contained two- to threefold lower concentrations of imipenem than expected and resulted in artifactual two- to fourfold increases in MICs of imipenem. The quality-control MIC results for Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 were 4 microg/ml, the highest value within the range recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. We recommend that this value be considered out of the quality-control range.
显示对亚胺培南耐药的铜绿假单胞菌暴发的错误结果,被追溯到一批有缺陷的微量稀释法最低抑菌浓度(MIC)检测板。这些检测板中亚胺培南的浓度比预期低两到三倍,导致亚胺培南的MIC出现人为的两到四倍升高。铜绿假单胞菌ATCC 27853的质量控制MIC结果为4微克/毫升,这是美国国家临床实验室标准委员会推荐范围内的最高值。我们建议将该值视为超出质量控制范围。
