As shown in Tables 1 and 2a, results
comparable, at least in terms of categorisation, with those obtained
by automatic systems were found for glycopeptides and linezolid.
Different rates of antimicrobial susceptibility values were found
for daptomycin (BMD 95.0% vs. automatic system 96.8%),
tigecycline (BMD 91.1% vs. automatic system 99.1%) and rifampicin
(BMD 71.2% vs. automatic system 83.2%).
