A panel of gram-negative bacteria with varying susceptibilities to cefepime/zidebactam. This panel can be used for “in-house” validation of cefepime/zidebactam antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods. Isolates were selected to represent a diversity of species and resistance mechanisms including carbapenemases.
Cefepime/zidebactam MICs reflect MIC of the combination.
Panel ID: FPZ
MICs obtained by broth microdilution. Modal MIC is reported.
MIC results for each antimicrobial agent for an isolate may commonly be ± 1 log2 (doubling dilution) different than what is posted on the FDA & CDC AR Bank website because this is the normal technical variability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (see J. H. Jorgensen. 1993. J Clin Microbiol. Vol 31[11]: 2841-2844).
