CLSI performance standards for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria isoloated from aquatic animals; second information supplement. CLSI document VET03/VET04-S2. Book Chapter. P. 56. Interpretive Summary: This document provides updated tables for the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute antimicrobial susceptibility testing guidelines VET03-A and VET04-A2. Technical Abstract: The supplemental information presented in this document is intended for use with the antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures published in the following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) approved documents VET03-A Methods for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated from Aquatic Animal Approved Guideline; and VET04-02- Methods for Broth Dilution Susceptibility Testing of Bacteria Isolated from Aquatic Animal Approved Guideline – Second Edition. These guidelines contain information about both disk (VET03-A) and dilution CVET04-A2) test procedures for bacteria isolated from aquatic animals. The clinical importance of antimicrobial susceptibility test results requires that these test be conducted under optimal conditions and that laboratories have the capability to interpret results. The tabular information presented here represents the most current information for interpretation of antimicrobial susceptibility test rests using the procedures standardized in VET03-A Users should consider the interpretive criteria presented in these tables specific only to isolates of Aeromonas salmonicida and not any other genus or species. Fish disease diagnostic laboratories that conduct susceptibility test less than once per week should consult this supplement for revise guidance for frequency of quality control. |
