CLSI M07 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M07—Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically offers guidance for antimicrobial susceptibility testing that is indicated for any organism that contributes to an infectious process warranting antimicrobial chemotherapy, if its susceptibility cannot be reliably predicted from knowledge of the organism’s identity. Susceptibility tests are most often indicated when the causative organism is thought to belong to a species capable of exhibiting resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents. Various laboratory methods can be used to measure the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M07—Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically describes standard broth dilution (macrodilution and microdilution [the microdilution method described in CLSI M07 is the same methodology outlined in ISO 20776-1])1 and agar dilution techniques, and it includes a series of procedures to standardize the way the tests are performed. The performance, applications, and limitations of the current CLSI-recommended methods are also described. The supplemental information (CLSI M1002 tables) used with this standard represents the most current information for drug selection, interpretation, and QC using the procedures standardized in CLSI M07.
