Abstract
This report describes and summarizes the results of the 30th 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 Staphylococcus aureus. For E. coli this is the 15th PT, for Salmonella and Campylobacter it is the 17th, whereas for S. aureus, it is the 13th. The PT includes:
a) The categorisation of the relevant E. coli and Salmonella strains as ESBL-, AmpC- and carbapenemase-phenotypes.
b) The identification of the species of the Campylobacter strains as C. jejuni or C. coli.
c) The identification of the S. aureus strains as mecA/mecC positive or negative.
