Following the recommendations of the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardisation (technical reports no. 610, 1977), the French Society of Microbiology created a Committee on Antibiogram (CA-SFM) to determine the critical values that delimit the clinical categories (previously therapeutic categories) and to propose a guide for the determination of bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics in association with EUCAST. The critical values defined for the concentrations and diameters of the inhibition zones, as well as recommendations specific to certain species or groups of antibiotics are published in this press release.
The European Pharmacopoeia is a unique reference work on the quality control of pharmaceutical drugs and medicines in the countries that signed the Convention on its elaboration.
