Section: Learning Objectives

Each objective describes an AST bench competency, method, QC, and category assignment, not antimicrobial selection or dosing.

  • Locate CLSI’s role in AST method and breakpoint guidance (e.g., M100 performance standards framing) without treating tables as universal law
  • Explain why laboratories must document which CLSI edition they adopt and how it is applied to manual and automated methods
  • Contrast CLSI adoption with EUCAST (or other) adoption as an institutional choice, never assume one standard applies everywhere
