Abstract

This report describes and summarizes the results of the 29th proficiency test (PT) conducted by the National Food Institute (DTU Food) as the EU Reference Laboratory for Antimicrobial Resistance (EURL-AR). This PT focuses on antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of four bacterial species or genera: Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter and Enterococcus. For E. coli this is the 14th PT, for Salmonella and Campylobacter it is the 15th, whereas for Enterococcus, it is the 13th. The PT includes categorisation of the relevant E. coli and Salmonella strains as ESBL-, AmpC- and carbapenemasephenotypes, as well as the identification of the Campylobacter and Enterococcus species as C. jejuni or C. coli and as E. faecium or E. faecalis, respectively.
