Description of the programme
These interlaboratory comparisons (AGLAE's programme ‘118A’) address any laboratory carrying out microbiological analyses (medical biology laboratories, hospital laboratories, testing laboratories...).
Characteristics of these EQA:
- Receipt of a neutral solution contaminated by an identified strain, with a clinical scenario
- Isolation, preparation of the inoculum and implementation of an Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) by application of MIC strips
- On-line data entry
List of parameters
