Both BD Phoenix and MiscroScan WalkAway systems exhibited poor concordance with the reference agar dilution method for fosfomycin susceptibility determination in Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates.
We evaluate the performance of BD Phoenix (BD Diagnostic; Hunt Valley, MD) and MiscroScan WalkAway (Beckman Coulter Inc; Carlsbad, CA) systems versus reference agar dilution method for fosfomycin susceptibility determination in 200 Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates. Both methods exhibit <= 89.0% of categorica agreement and >= 63.3% of very major error. All commercial antimicrobial susceptibility systems show poor concordance with reference method.
