Disc Diffusion Guide

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is highly standardized. Our ability to interpret the test requires that the assay is conducted according to the highly prescriptive guidelines from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) or the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). In this video, I demonstrate what can happen when a test is performed using non-standard conditions.

You are welcome! It was a video that I was thinking about making for a long time... I think it can be difficult to understand just how important standardization is without seeing some of the direct comparisons we did here.
