A 10-laboratory collaborative effort was designed to generate data to propose quality control limits for susceptibility tests of trovafloxacin. Broth microdilution, agar dilution, and disk diffusion tests were evaluated with eight different control strains. All tests were reproducible, and control limits are proposed.
