The work of preparing International S

20、tandards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, als

21、o take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees

22、 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibil

23、ity that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

24、ll rights reservedBS EN ISO 16256:2012ISO 16256:2012(E)IntroductionIn vitro susceptibility tests are performed on microorganisms suspected of causing disease, particularly if the organism is thought to belong to a species that may exhibit acquired resistance to frequently used antimicrobial agents.

25、The tests are also important in resistance surveillance, epidemiological studies of susceptibility and in comparisons of new and existing agents.Dilution procedures are used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobial agents and represent the reference method for antif

26、ungal susceptibility testing. MIC methods are used in resistance surveillance, comparative testing of new agents for research or registration purposes, to establish the susceptibility of organisms that give equivocal results in routine tests, for tests with organisms where routine tests may be unrel

27、iable and when a quantitative result is needed for clinical management. In dilution tests, microorganisms are tested for their ability to produce discernible growth on a series of agar plates (agar dilution) or in broth (broth dilution) containing serial dilutions of the antimicrobial agent.The lowe

28、st concentration of an antimicrobial agent (in mg/l) that, under defined in vitro test conditions, reduces visible or optically measurable growth of a microorganism within a defined period of time is known as the MIC. The MIC is a guide for the clinician to the susceptibility of the organism to the

29、antimicrobial agent and aids treatment decisions. Careful control and standardization is required for intra- and inter-laboratory reproducibility, as results may be influenced by the method used. It is generally accepted that broth MIC tests are reproducible to within one doubling dilution of the tr

30、ue end point (i.e. 1 well or tube in a doubling dilution series).Broth dilution is a technique in which containers holding identical volumes of broth with antimicrobial agent solutions in incrementally (usually twofold) increasing concentrations are inoculated with a known number of microorganisms.B

31、roth microdilution denotes the performance of the broth dilution test in microdilution trays.The reference methods described in this International Standard are intended for the testing of pure cultures of yeast fungi. The broth microdilution methods described in this part of this International Stand

32、ard are essentially the same as those described by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)1and by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST)2. These methods have been shown to provide MICs of fluconazole that are essentially the same, if not identical up t

33、o 2 mg/l3. Studies with various other antifungal agents are planned or under way. The laboratory that wishes to use this International Standard for conducting studies of newer antifungal agents, or as a reference method for comparison to MICs generated by a diagnostic device, should select which of

34、the procedure options to use based upon the choice of MIC reading determined by visual inspection (CLSI method) or by use of a spectrophotometer (EUCAST method). In either case, the procedural details for that option are to be followed explicitly. ISO 2012 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 16256:2012BS

36、and equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation

37、s prior to use.1 ScopeThis International Standard describes a method for testing the susceptibility to antifungal agents of yeasts, including Candida spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans, that cause infections. The reference method described here has not been used in studies of the yeast forms of dimorp

38、hic fungi, such as B. dermatitidis and/or H. capsulatum variety capsulatum. Moreover, testing filamentous fungi (moulds) introduces several additional problems in standardization not addressed by the current procedure. Reference methods for broth dilution antifungal susceptibility testing of filamen

39、tous fungi have been developed and are now available as CLSI document M38 and EUCAST document E.DEF 9.145678.This International Standard describes the broth microdilution reference method which can be implemented by either of two pathways. One pathway involves visual determination of MICs (CLSI meth

40、od)1; the second pathway involves spectrophotometric determination of MICs (EUCAST method)2. The MIC reflects the activity of the drug under the described test conditions and can be interpreted for clinical management purposes by taking into account other factors, such as drug pharmacology or antifu

41、ngal resistance mechanisms. MICs can be categorized as “susceptible” (S), “susceptible dose-dependent” (S-DD), “intermediate” (I), “non-susceptible” (NS) or “resistant” (R). In addition, MIC distributions can be used to define wild type or non-wild type fungal populations. Clinical interpretation of

42、 the MIC value is beyond the scope of this International Standard; interpretive category breakpoints specific to the CLSI- and EUCAST-derived methods can be found by consulting the latest interpretive tables provided by the organizations29. It is advisable to compare routine susceptibility testing m

43、ethods or diagnostic test devices with this reference method in order to ensure comparable and reliable results for validation or registration purposes.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1antifungal agentsubstance of biological, semi
