Demystifying CLSI M45: Standardizing Tests for Fastidious Bacteria
Q: My lab uses EUCAST. Can I still use M45?
A: EUCAST does not have equivalent guidance for most of these rare organisms. CLSI M45 remains the international reference. clsi document m45 pdf
Without M45, labs would lack the standardized protocols needed to test pathogens like Aeromonas, Campylobacter, Neisseria meningitidis, or the slowly growing Mycobacterium species (non-tuberculosis). clsi document m45 pdf
For clinical labs, following M45 isn't just about following rules; it's about providing clinicians with the accurate data they need to save patients with difficult-to-treat infections. clsi document m45 pdf
