What’s New in the 2024 CLSI Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing?
Join CLSI on April 17 at 1:00 ET for a webinar on the latest in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) with the release of the 34th edition of the CLSI M100 document. Receive the latest guidance for implementing new breakpoints and standards into your laboratory practices. Some of the major changes that will be discussed during the webinar include a significant reorganization of dosage recommendations, addition of sulbactam-durlobactam to breakpoints, a new Table 2A-2 for Salmonella and Shigella, and many more. A few substantive changes to the upcoming CLSI M02 and M07 will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the major changes found in the updated 34th edition of the CLSI M100 document.
2. Design a strategy for implementing the new standard into laboratory practices.
3. Develop a communication strategy for informing clinical staff of significant AST and reporting changes
