Posted January 25, 20169 yr comment_63849 Consider for the sake of discussion, E-tests, automated micro-dilution, Kirby-Bauer methods for antibiotic susceptibility testing. If there are no CLSI guidelines for reporting a particular drug/organism combination (therefore no in-vitro to in-vivo validation); If a physician requests the MIC value only or Kirby-Bauer measurement; Can this be reported? If yes, does anyone have a comment they post with the result? If yes, how do you justify which method you utilize to report and how do you justify the in-vitro/in-vivo correlation? Since there are no CLSI guidelines or data?

(Drug Name) (Methodology) MIC: xx mcg/ml (Drug Name): No CLSI guidelines available for test methodology or antibiotic susceptibility interpretation for this drug/organism combination.
