Abstract
We evaluated several EDTA-based combined-disk tests to detect 25 mcr producers among 48 Enterobacteriaceae. Colistin disks plus EDTA (292/584â¯Î¼g) on MH and CAMH agar were used. Results were positive if with chelator there was an inhibition zone increase â¥3â¯mm compared to colistin alone. All tests resulted unreliable (sensitivity â¤68%).
