3 Chpter 10. Tles 10. Tles A Guide to the Use of the Tles There re 4 sets of tles contining informtion essentil for the performnce of the CDS Test. These tles re intended for oth Clinicl nd Veterinry lortories. Antiiotics used in veterinry medicine only re flgged. Clirtion tles 1, 1, 1c, & 1d collectively summrise much of the sic informtion used in the CDS Test. They list ll the orgnisms nd ntimicroils tested y the method, the medi used, conditions of incution, disc potencies, cut off sizes for unusul nnulr rdii nd the MICs for susceptile strins (rekpoints). The tles re updted regulrly nd opertors should ensure tht they re using the ltest versions of these tles. It is most importnt to py prticulr ttention to the footnotes included with ech tle s these highlight exceptions, restrictions nd some specific directions. For orgnisms not included in the Tle of Clirtions, extrpolte the testing from tht estlished for similr orgnisms. Surrogte Disc Testing tles 2 nd 2, list those ntimicroils where the susceptiility cn e inferred from the results otined with closely relted gent, the surrogte disc. The tle is rrnged ccording to cteril species nd the reltionship etween the ntimicroils is vlid only for the species indicted. This tle is lso updted regulrly s dt re ccumulted which either invlidte the reltionship or enle us to dd gents to the list. Lortories my find it useful to include comment on the susceptiility report tht the result reported with prticulr ntimicroil indictes the susceptiility to nother. Qulity ssurnce tles 3, 3, 3c & 3d list the 13 reference strins, the medi, the incution conditions of testing nd the expected rnge of zone sizes oserved with ech disc of stted potency. The footnotes explin how the cceptle rnges of zone sizes were derived nd recommend the indictions for nd the frequency of testing the reference strins. Tle 4 is guide through the mze of testing nd reporting the susceptiility of Grm-negtive eroic species to β-lctm ntiiotics. The production of one or more β-lctmses is n importnt nd common mechnism of resistnce in these species, ut for severl resons, resistnce my e difficult or impossile to demonstrte y the usul methods of ntiiotic susceptiility testing. The tle sets out, in some detil, those species where resistnce should e ssumed on the sis of previous documenttion of the presence of stle mechnism of resistnce nd those where susceptiility cn e relily demonstrted y the disc test. This tle lso relies hevily on the footnotes to drw ttention to exceptions nd specil circumstnces. Online Edition Septemer
