The primary objective of this study was to assess the performance of the SpecifAST® system compared to the VITEK®2 system. Performance was measured by the categorical agreement, defined as agreement for the same categorical interpretation (susceptible (S), susceptible increased exposure (I), or resistant (R)) based on MIC values, in accordance with the 2021 European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints [25]. The analysis time in hours and number of Colony Forming Units per milliliter (CFU/mL) were measured as secondary objectives.
