External quality assessment scheme 2011 for Neisseria meningitidis

Technical report, External quality assessment - 9 Jul 2013

This report on EQA performance shows that European Reference Laboratories for Meningococci differ in their capacities and the level of characterisation of the distributed N. meningitidis material, but that there have been improvements since the first ECDC IBD-labnet distribution.

External Quality Assurance scheme for Haemophilus influenzae, 2012

Technical report, External quality assessment - 9 Jul 2013

​In May 2012 a collection of five strains of Haemophilus spp  was sent to 28 participating reference laboratories in the IBD-labnet surveillance network for quality assurance testing. The laboratories were asked to characterise the five strains by performing standard laboratory protocols for the methods usually used by the laboratory for: species identification, biotyping and serotyping by serological methods and/or PCR.  
The results of this EQA are published in the this report.

External quality assurance scheme for Haemophilus influenzae 2011

Technical report, External quality assessment - 11 Feb 2013

The results of this external quality assurance distribution have shown that European Haemophilus reference laboratories differ in the level of characterisation of strains, ranging from simple speciation to full identification and typing. All but two laboratories routinely phenotypically serotype isolates. Fifteen laboratories (52%) performed PCR-based capsular genotyping, 23 laboratories (79%) reported antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.
