Procedure for Confirming the Acceptability of Mueller-Hinton Agar Sources for Subsequent Use in CLSI and/or EUCAST Studies to Establish Disk Diffusion Quality Control Ranges

This document outlines the technical requirements for verifying the suitability of Mueller-Hinton agar sources for use in CLSI and/or EUCAST studies to establish disk diffusion quality control ranges, ensuring consistency and reliability in antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Scope

The procedure presented in this document is intended to confirm that Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) sources will perform reliably when a full quality control (QC) study is performed, thereby avoiding media-related problems when QC ranges are established. This procedure is performed after a disk content (potency) has been selected according to CLSI document M23S1 or EUCAST SOP 11.02 and before a study to establish QC ranges per CLSI document M233 and/or EUCAST SOP 9.34 is performed.
