  • Causa
    Based on the epidemiological evolution of peaks and detection of some resistant strains of strptococcus from clinical specimens (about 1 to 5% according to the crsi crocheting points), which did not exist at the time of registration of the e-test product ertapenem and also in the impact change study, biomérieux initiated an internal study with 234 peaks including enterobacteriaceae, haemophillus, s.Penumoniae, s.Viridans, streptococcus beta-hemolytic and anaerobic peas. the results confirmed a potential performance problem in the categorization of strains for the s. viridans and s.Pneumoniae groups based on the clsi and eucast 2017 cutoff points, which could lead to false susceptibility instead of e-test resistant results ertapenem, when purchased with the micro dilution in broth (mdc) reference method. this problem was not evaluated at the time of product registration because at that time it was very rare or nonexistent resistant to this drug.
