CLSI BIT Webinar
Get Current! Using the 2023 Breakpoint Implementation Toolkit to Update and Document AST Breakpoints
Stay up-to-date with the latest antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) breakpoints. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), American Society for Microbiology (ASM), College of American Pathologists (CAP), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have jointly developed this Breakpoint Implementation Toolkit (BIT) to assist clinical laboratories in updating minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) breakpoints. This webinar focused on how the 2023 BIT can assist the laboratory with MIC breakpoint changes and did not cover disk diffusion. Speakers provided examples from three different commercial AST systems.
