      Objectives - Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of anaerobic bacteria has until recently been done by MIC methods. We have carried out a multi-centre evaluation of the newly validated EUCAST disk diffusion method for AST of Bacteroides spp.<p> <p>Methods - A panel of 30 Bacteroides strains was assembled based on reference agar dilution MICs, resistance gene detection and quantification ...

      <i>Escherichia coli</i> sequence type 410 (ST410) has been reported worldwide as an extraintestinal pathogen associated with resistance to fluoroquinolones, third-generation cephalosporins, and carbapenems. In the present study, we investigated national epidemiology of ST410 <i>E. coli</i> isolates from Danish patients. Furthermore, <i>E. coli</i> ST410 was investigated in a global context to provide ...
