Objectives: To evaluate the performances of the QMAC-dRAST GN (Gram-negative) kit for rapid antimicrobial sensitivity testing (AST) and two other methods, directly on positive blood-culture broth (PBCB), by comparison with a reference method: the MicroScan method based on broth microdilution on colonies isolated on PBCB subculture.

Methods: In total, 156 samples were collected prospectively from blood cultures positive for a Gram-negative rod. Each sample was tested with four AST techniques: (i) the QMAC dRAST GN kit, (ii) the disc diffusion (DD) method, (iii) the MicroScan method applied directly to PBCB; and (iv) MicroScan with isolates from PBCB subculture, as a reference.
