Abstract
We determined the correlation between Etest and BMD MICs with bactericidal activity in MSSA blood isolates. Ceftriaxone was bactericidal in 36% and 9% of isolates exposed to the Etest and BMD MIC, respectively. With the sub-optimal activity of ceftriaxone, the Etest MIC may be a conservative method in identifying clinical utility.Entities:
