Querying Automated Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Instruments: A Novel Population-Based Active Surveillance Method for Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli

Abstract

Directly querying ATIs, a novel method of active surveillance for MDR-GNB, proved to be a reliable, sustainable, and accurate method that required moderate initial investment and modest maintenance. Ongoing surveillance is critical to assess the burden of and changes in MDR-GNB to inform prevention efforts.
