Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review outlines the process of setting and revising Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints and summarizes breakpoints approved in 2023. These breakpoints will be published in the 2024 edition of the CLSI M100 document.
Recent Findings
Over the past decade, new rapid diagnostic tests and antibiotic approvals have led to more frequent updates and revisions to clinical breakpoints—or susceptibility test interpretive criteria (STIC). CLSI is currently the only recognized standards development organization—outside of the FDA—allowed to set or revise STIC. The process of setting breakpoints is not always clear-cut because data evaluation can be limited by a lack of published data in one of three required categories (microbiologic, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics, and clinical outcomes) detailed in the CLSI M23 document.
Summary
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is a foundation for optimal antimicrobial therapy and plays a critical role in monitoring the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of infectious disease.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, tropical and travel medicine, and urinary tract infections. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists.
