Assay performance with cefepime.

<p>Relative growth values from the MBT-ASTRA assay performed with cefepime are shown. A relative growth cutoff of 0.5 was utilized to classify resistance, indicated by the horizontal line. Intermediate resistance is abbreviated as Int. Strains are arranged from left to right in order of increasing MIC, with exact values given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0183899#pone.0183899.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. Data points colored red indicate major or very major errors. For each strain, 4–5 independent replicates were obtained on different days.</p

Assay performance on blood culture.

<p>MBT-ASTRA assay performed from spiked blood culture. Relative growth values from each replicate are shown, with data points representing major errors colored red. Strain FDAARGOS_159 represented by (●), strain ATCC 25923 represented by (■), strain BAA-44 represented by (▲), strain BR-VRSA represented by (♦). Filled symbols indicate the strain is susceptible to the antibiotic by reference standard while open symbols indicate resistance. A relative growth cutoff of 0.5 was utilized to classify resistance, indicated by the horizontal line. For each strain, 3 independent replicates were obtained on different days, with the mean and standard deviation shown for each set.</p
