This change aims to support veterinarians in making more accurate treatment decisions and emphasizes responsible antimicrobial use. Additionally, these updated reports are exclusively available in HealthTracks. Not registered for HealthTracks? Click to learn how to register today.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Who is CLSI, and why are they important for veterinary medicine?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) is an international, non-profit organization that develops consensus-based guidelines for laboratory testing, including microbiology and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). CLSI brings together veterinary and human health experts to set evidence-based standards that ensure lab results are accurate, clinically meaningful, and reproducible across different settings. CLSI publishes veterinary-specific documents (e.g., VET01, VET02, VET06, VET09 in Further Reading) that outline species-specific testing methods, breakpoints, and interpretive criteria for dogs, cats, horses, and more.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What guideline changes has CLSI made for veterinary MIC interpretation?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CLSI has updated its veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing guidelines to improve the accuracy and relevance of MIC interpretation for animals. Key changes to the antimicrobial susceptibility testing guidelines include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Veterinary-specific breakpoints for species like dogs and cats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New \u201cSusceptible, Dose-Dependent (SDD)\u201d category for dose-adjusted treatment options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revised breakpoints for select drug-pathogen combinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearer reporting standards to support consistency and clinical decision-making<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What are the EMA categories that I see on the report and why are they important?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antech now provides suggested prescribing tiers for antimicrobials under the categories Avoid, Restrict, Caution, and Prudence to guide selection and support stewardship. These are assigned to the medication based on risk of antimicrobial resistance and importance to human health.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Why did Antech use EMA categories instead of another system?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chose EMA (European Medicine Agency) categories for their straightforward guidance: their source is less important than their practical role in promoting thoughtful, responsible antimicrobial use for every patient case. (See Interpretation for how to use them.)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Why did Antech remove dose recommendations from reports?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every patient is unique and safe, effective dosing depends on many factors. These include, for example, kidney and liver function; owner compliance and practicality\u2014along with many others. To help tailor treatment, we encourage you to consult trusted references like Plumb\u2019s<br>Veterinary Drug Handbook, ISCAID, or ACVIM guidelines, and other pharmacology resources. For especially complex cases, specialist input can be invaluable.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>These updates are only available in HealthTracks. Why are MIC reports not updated in AntechOnline?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AntechOnline is our legacy platform and is no longer being enhanced.
