Abstract (EN): <jats:p> The FASTinov flow cytometry kit, an ultrarapid antimicrobial susceptibility test, was directly evaluated on positive blood cultures (BC) at two sites: (i) FASTinov, S.A., in Porto, Portugal, using BC spiked with well-characterized bacteria, and (ii) Ramon y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid, Spain, using positive BC from patients. Two kits were evaluated, FAST <jats:italic>gramneg</jats:italic> ( <jats:italic>Enterobacterales</jats:italic> , <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas</jats:named-content> , <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Acinetobacter</jats:named-content> ) and FAST <jats:italic>grampos</jats:italic> ( <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Staphylococcus</jats:named-content> <jats:italic>, Enterococcus</jats:italic> ). </jats:p>
