CLSI VET03 Abstract

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guideline VET03—Methods for Antimicrobial Broth Dilution and Disk Diffusion Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated From Aquatic Animals describes broth dilution and disk diffusion, and it includes a series of procedures to standardize the way the tests are performed on Groups 1 and 3 aquatic bacteria. Group 1 nonfastidious bacteria grow readily in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (CAMHB) and on Mueller-Hinton agar and are readily cultured at temperatures of 22°C ± 2°C and 28°C ± 2°C. Group 3 nonfastidious gliding bacteria grow in diluted CAMHB and are readily cultured at temperatures of 18°C or 28°C, depending on the species.
