CLSI VET01 Abstract

Various laboratory methods can be used to measure the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute VET01—Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk and Dilution Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria Isolated From Animals describes disk diffusion, as well as standard broth dilution (macrodilution and microdilution) and agar dilution, 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 VET01S1 tables) used with this standard represents the most current information for antimicrobial agent selection, interpretation, and QC using the procedures standardized in CLSI VET01.
