En route towards european clinical breakpoints for veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing: a position paper explaining the vetcast approach... Each CBP will be based on consideration of: (i) an epidemiological cut-off value (ECOFF) – the highest MIC that defines the upper end of the wild-type MIC distribution; (ii) a PK/PD breakpoint obtained from pre-clinical pharmacokinetic...

Impact of inter-lab variation on the estimation of epidemiological cut-off values for disc diffusion susceptibility test data for aeromonas salmonicida... Analysis of the extent of this lateral shift between the data generated in two laboratories indicated that the application of a single laboratory-independent epidemiological cut-off value for each disc could result in disagreement between the laboratories as to whether a strain should be classified as wild-type or non wild-type.Normalised...
