The need for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing increases with escalating levels of antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae. Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of reading EUCAST disc diffusion, ROSCO ESBL and carbapenemase detection kits and the Mast Carbapenemase Activity Test (CAT-ID) disc, after 6 h of incubation.
