This study was set up to assess the performance of the Reveal® rapid AST system to determine the drug susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains directly from blood cultures. Two hundred fully sequenced clinical P. aeruginosa strains were selected for the evaluation, of which 26.5% (n = 53) produced transferable ß-lactamases, and 2.0 to 33.0% had susceptibility levels close to the EUCAST 2021 breakpoints of 11 commonly used antipseudomonal antibiotics. The Reveal® AST system was run with a commercial MIC microplate designed for fast-growing Gram-negative bacilli (Microscan Neg MDR MIC 1), and was compared to the manually operated GN6F MIC microdilution panel from Thermo Fisher, as a comparator method. The Reveal® AST system provided MIC results for the 11 antipseudomonal antibiotics tested within a mean time to result of 6 h 22 min. By comparison with the GN6F panel, the overall rates of categorical agreement (CA), very major errors (VME), major errors (ME), and minor errors (mE for meropenem only) were 96.1%, 1.6%, 4.2%, and 0.6%, respectively. The Specific Reveal® AST system appears to be a reliable and fast technology to determine the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to antibiotics, including those with resistance levels near categorical breakpoints, directly from blood cultures.
