Guiding antimicrobial stewardship through thoughtful antimicrobial susceptibility testing and reporting strategies: an updated approach in 2023.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial susceptibility test and report guidelines are an important tool for antimicrobial stewardship programs. Since 1972, Tables 1 within the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M100 document have provided a general framework upon which clinical microbiologists and antimicrobial stewardship teams can build algorithms for susceptibility testing and reporting that meet the specific needs of their institution.
