| Abstract |
Ceftazidime-avibactam disk studies were performed for disk mass selection and for establishing EUCAST quality control ranges and zone diameter breakpoints. The disk mass study included disk diffusion testing with ceftazidime-avibactam 10-4 and 10-6 μg disks and broth microdilution MIC testing for challenge set of 94 Enterobacteriaceae and 45 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. EUCAST SOP 9.0-based QC and MIC-disk correlations studies were followed for development of ceftazidime-avibactam 10-4 μg ranges for Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27583, and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603 and for zone diameter breakpoint determination. The ceftazidime-avibactam 10-4 and 10-6 μg disks performed similar in comparison to broth microdilution, with zones ≤ 14 mm for all resistant strains. The 10-4 μg disk was selected and used in QC and breakpoint studies. There was minimal variation of ceftazidime-avibactam 10-4 μg QC study results between disks, media, and sites. The QC ranges were within 7 mm for all strains. The zone diameter breakpoint study demonstrated good correlation of MIC and disk results. The established zone diameter breakpoints resulted in false susceptible rates of 1.6 and 4.0% for Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa. EUCAST selected the ceftazidime-avibactam 10-4 μg disk and established QC ranges for E. coli 25922 of 24-30 mm, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 of 21-27 mm, and K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 of 18-24 mm. The zone diameter breakpoints that correlated best with the MIC breakpoints of susceptible ≤ 8 mg/L and resistant > 8 mg/L were Enterobacteriaceae (S ≥ 13, R < 13 mm) and P. aeruginosa (S ≥ 17, R < 17 mm). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 May 2018.
All research outputs
#15,498,204
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases
#1,891
of 2,792 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,213
of 329,466 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases
#20
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,792 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.7. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,466 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
