Flow Cytometry Evaluation of Six Antimicrobial Agents Against Bacterial Isolates

165 antibiotic-isolate combinations were evaluated to compare flow cytometry with conventional broth microdilution for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The dataset, authored by Emily Salisbury and last updated in May 2026, reports essential agreement of 90.71% and categorical agreement ranging from 91.67% to 100% for specific drugs like doxycycline and meropenem-vaborbactam.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking flow cytometry against broth microdilution based on reported agreement metrics
• Analyzing cellular-level drug effects based on described observations of cell elongation under cefiderocol exposure
• Evaluating the performance of novel antimicrobial agents like ceftazidime-avibactam and lefamulin mentioned in the study

Strengths

• Reports specific performance metrics: 90.71% essential agreement and categorical agreements up to 100%
• Evaluates six distinct antimicrobial agents, including novel and niche drugs
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small (22.8 KB), indicating limited scope
