To evaluate the performance of a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) platform based on microfluidic chip technology, the QMAC-dRAST, which enables AST from colony isolates or positive blood culture broth (PBCB), and to compare the performance of the QMAC-dRAST for staphylococci and enterococci with that of the VITEK-2 system based on reference broth microdilution (BMD).
