Salmonella enterica - multinational zone diameter distributions uploaded

Salmonella entericazone diameter distributions and ECOFFs for thousands of isolates from many countries were uploaded. The contributions were organised through an ECDC project using phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility data reported to ECDC from fourteen countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain) in the Food- and Waterborne Diseases and Zoonoses Network. These data and have now been used to better define wild type zone diameter distributionsfor Salmonella isolates. ECOFFs were determined using a novel statistical programme. Below is a link for anyone interested ina systematic comparison of "before and after".
