Lyophilized or freezedried bacteria were prepared and a panel of lyophilized bacteria was shipped once a year. The first set consisted of two mixed cultures and one pure culture. Forty-three laboratories participated in this first set. The second set provided three ampoules of lyophilized mixed bacteria. Thirty-eight laboratories participated in this second set. Fifteen (34.9%) laboratories and 21 (55.3%) laboratories were correctly reported for the first and second proficiency sets, respectively. Of 33 laboratories participated in both trials, fifteen (46%) laboratories showed performance improvement. A meeting concerning on quality assurance and good laboratory practices in clinical microbiology was also provided for participating laboratories before shipment of the second panel. This pilot scheme showed a high possibility of establishing the External quality assessment scheme in bacterial isolation and identification for continuous improvement of quality assurance. |
