Media for colistin susceptibility testing does not improve the detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates carrying MgrB disruption and other mutation driven colistin resistance mechanisms

We evaluated different susceptibility testing media against 200 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates that have been genetically characterized for the presence of polymyxin resistance mechanisms. The media evaluated included calcium enriched media that was described to promote separation of mcr-carrying En...
