GUIDELINE LABORATORY METHODOLOGIES FOR BACTERIAL . ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING. SUMMARY. Historically, medical practitioners and veterinarians selected antimicrobials to treat BACTERIAL infectious diseases based primarily on past clinical experiences. However, with the increase in BACTERIAL resistance to traditionally used antimicrobials, it has become more difficult for clinicians to empirically select an appropriate antimicrobial agent. As a result, in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of the relevant BACTERIAL pathogens, from properly collected specimens, should use validated methods. Thus, AST is an important component of prudent antimicrobial use guidelines in animal husbandry worldwide and veterinarians in all countries should have these data available for informed decision-making.
resistant bacterial strains or resistance determinants in different bacterial species. The selection of a particular AST method is based on many factors such as validation data, practicality, flexibility, automation, cost, reproducibility, accuracy, and individual preference.
