Why Make CLSI’s M100 Your Reference of Choice?
Not only has CLSI long been the world-leading provider of AST breakpoints, methods, and quality control standards, but we are also the only organization in the world designated as a WHO collaborating center for creation of medical laboratory standards. CLSI is also the only organization of its kind with an inclusive, transparent standards development process. Through equal balance of input among industry, government, and health care professionals, we protect against the threats of opaque decision-making and conflicted data.
No other organization provides this level of process transparency and balance, which helps ensure that M100 is widely upheld as the go-to publication for real-time identification of emerging bacterial resistance patterns—as agreed upon by the medical laboratory community.
