FDC susceptibility testing is challenging as none of the commercial tests have been proven to accurately determine the susceptibility in the area of technical uncertainty (ATU). Here, we evaluated the performance of different FDC testing methods on Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates around this range. A challenging collection of 104 K. pneumoniae isolates with different FDC susceptibility was designed, including high representation (70%) of the 2024-ATU (21–23 mm) ± 1 mm.
