Abstract

ABSTRACT Data from the Canadian National Gonococcal Antimicrobial Susceptibility Comparison Program, including results from 25 proficiency panels distributed between 2003 and 2012, were analyzed. The average MIC agreement between the participating laboratories ranged from 85.6% to 98.8% over the 10-year period, with the interpretation agreement ranging from 85.7% to 98.1%.
