Antimicrobial susceptibility testing breakpoints and methods from BSAC to EUCAST [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2015
The BSAC Standing Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing is one of several European national breakpoint committees that agreed in 2002 to harmonize clinical MIC breakpoints. The process of harmonization has since been completed for commonly used agents, and breakpoints for new agents have been set by EUCAST in accordance with a procedure ...

Validation of EUCAST zone diameter breakpoints against reference broth microdilution [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014
The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) began harmonizing clinical breakpoints in Europe 2002. In 2009, work to develop a disc diffusion method began and the first disc diffusion breakpoints calibrated to EUCAST clinical MIC breakpoints were published in December 2009.

Proposed Meropenem Breakpoints for Interpretation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated From Dogs

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic used infrequently in veterinary medicine. However, antimicrobial susceptibility testing standards are needed to monitor for resistance caused by carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) does not have veterinary‐specific carbapenem breakpoints for ...

Prevalence and Relatedness of Salmonella in the Environments of Livestock Markets Handling Surplus Dairy Calves

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Livestock markets are critical hubs within animal trade networks that influence pathogen dissemination at the regional and national scale. Indeed, a 2016 Salmonella serovar Heidelberg outbreak, initially linked to surplus dairy calves at livestock markets, sickened 63 people across 17 states.

Spectrophotometric reading of EUCAST antifungal susceptibility testing of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2017
Given the increasing number of antifungal drugs and the emergence of resistant Aspergillus isolates, objective, automated and high-throughput antifungal susceptibility testing is important. The EUCAST E.Def 9.3 reference method for MIC determination of Aspergillus species relies on visual reading.
