国际标准化组织（ISO）最近提供了一个机会来定义抗菌药物敏感性试验的全球标准参考方法，并描述抗菌药物敏感性试验器械的可接受性能标准。在标准化组织技术委员会212的主持下组织的一个工作组与欧洲标准化委员会的一个工作组密切合作，制定这两项全球标准。全球参考方法是肉汤微量稀释法，目前由临床和实验室标准研究所和欧盟抗菌药物敏感性试验委员会描述。来自13个国家的专家组成了工作组，在过去3年中，他们最终商定了国际参考方法，并首次定义了可用于临床微生物实验室常规敏感性试验的商业器械的客观评估大纲。
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has recently provided an opportunity to define a global standard reference method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and to delineate acceptable performance criteria for antimicrobial susceptibility testing devices. A working group organized under the auspices of ISO Technical Committee 212 has worked closely with a working group of the European Committee on Normalization to develop the two global standards. The global reference method is the broth microdilution method that is presently described by both the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute and the European Union Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. Experts from 13 countries that formed the membership of the working groups have endeavored over the past 3 years to agree upon the international reference method and to define for the first time an outline for objective assessment of commercial devices that can be used for routine susceptibility testing in clinical microbiology laboratories.
