RESISTANCE MONITORING CENTER Expert Rules: 2500 rules based on the human and animal CLSI, BSAC (UK), EUCAST, French, German and published recommendations. Automatically checks all tests for unlikely results, ESBL (screening & confirmatory), MRSA, inducible clindamycin resistance (D-Test) and other resistance mechanisms. Verifies that all test results are adequately quality controlled. Predefined rules can be turned ON or OFF. Users may define their own rules to selectively report test results.
