Gram-negative rods associated with gastroenteritis and wound infections from aquatic environments.
Often tested using modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion or broth microdilution.
Often associated with animal bites or specific zoonotic exposures.
These guidelines are intended to help laboratories determine relevant testing approaches for unusual organisms in their specific practice settings. Organisms Covered in M45
The CLSI Document M45 is an essential pillar of clinical microbiology. It provides the technical roadmap required to accurately test and report susceptibility profiles for infrequently isolated and fastidious bacteria. By integrating the specific media, incubation, and interpretive criteria outlined in the M45 PDF, clinical laboratories ensure they deliver the precise data physicians rely on to treat complex, atypical infectious diseases.
