The BrCAST halo interpreter
Choose the isolate group — Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, or Streptococcus — fill in the disc batch used on the plate, and the site returns the category for each antimicrobial, the applied breakpoint, and the consolidated report ready for review.
By disc batch
Fill in the entire isolate panel at once, just like on the plate.
Criterion at a glance
Each result shows the applied cut-off, e.g.: S ≥ 22 mm · R < 16 mm.
Bench notes
Cefoxitina as MRSA marker, D-test, screenings and confirmation alerts.
Identification
Rugai with lysine tube interpreter (IAL) for presumptive identification of Enterobacterales and non-fermenters.
