Dear all,
Does anyone have pointers to studies on the concordance of (our) genotypic AMR predictions and actual lab AST results?
When I was at KCRI, we did one such analysis but only for our small collection of Acinetobacters[1]. What I would be interested in is a systematic large scale analysis.
As the SeqAfrica consortium (and with other partners in & outside Africa), we should have plenty of data to do such a study.
My interest in this used to be due to the obvious reason that we need to know how good our predictions are, but there's a much more compelling reason now to gather an extensive collection of *false negatives*. I'll explain later.
Marco
