The MS‐2 automated system was compared with Rosco Neosensitabs agar diffusion for the gentamicin susceptibility of a group of 267 organisms isolated from clinical material. With Rosco Neosensitabs agar diffusion agreement with reference minimal inhibitory concentrations was 98.5%, while with the MS‐2 system it was 100% if calcium and magnesium‐supplemented MS‐2 broth was used.
