The Sensititre Automated Reading and Incubation System (ARIS) performs automated reading of Sensititre identification and susceptibility plates. ARIS susceptibility results were compared to manually read results. A total of 212 isolates (3,352 organism-antimicrobial agent combinations) yielded 99.4% essential agreement and categorical error rates of 0.2% minor, 0% major, and 1.0% very major. ARIS yields accurate susceptibility results compared to plates read manually.
