Shortening the incubation time for antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion for Enterobacteriaceae: how short can it be and are the results accurate?
Highlights • Clear growth is visible after 6–7 h of incubation. • Categorical error rates between early disk zone reading and 20 h reading are low. • Established disk diffusion breakpoints can be used with early reading. • Turnaround time is reduced by early disk zone reading.
