23、SO 20776-1:2006iv Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a sub
24、ject 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, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (I
25、EC) 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 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical commit
26、tees 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 possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be
27、 held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 20776-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 140, In vitro diagnostic medical devices, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 212, Clinical laboratory testing and in
28、vitro diagnostic test systems, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). ISO 20776 consists of the following parts, under the general title Clinical laboratory testing and in vitro diagnostic test systems Susceptibility testing of infectious ag

30、ty test devices EN ISO 20776-1:2006vIntroduction In 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 resistance to frequently used antimicrobial agents. The tests are also importan
31、t 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 are the reference method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
32、 MIC methods are used in resistance surveillance, comparative testing of new agents, to establish the susceptibility of organisms that give equivocal results in routine tests, for tests on organisms where routine tests may be unreliable and when a quantitative result is required for clinical managem
33、ent. In dilution tests, microorganisms are tested for their ability to produce visible growth on a series of agar plates (agar dilution) or in broth (broth dilution) containing serial dilutions of the antimicrobial agent. The lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent (in mg/l) that, under defin
34、ed in vitro conditions, prevents the appearance of visible 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 antimicrobial agent and aids treatment decisions. Careful control and standardis
35、ation is required for intra- and inter-laboratory reproducibility, as results may be significantly influenced by the method used. It is generally accepted that broth MIC tests are reproducible to within one doubling dilution of the real end point (i.e. one well or tube in a doubling dilution series)
36、. Broth dilution is a technique in which containers holding identical volumes of broth with antimicrobial agent solutions in incrementally (usually geometrically) increasing concentrations are inoculated with a known number of microorganisms. Broth microdilution denotes the performance of the broth
37、dilution test in microdilution trays. The method described in this part of ISO 20776 is intended for the testing of pure cultures of aerobic bacteria that are easily grown by overnight incubation on agar and grow well in Mueller-Hinton broth, which may be supplemented. The broth microdilution method
38、 described in this part of ISO 20776 is essentially the same as those used in many countries, including France1, Germany2, Sweden3, the United Kingdom4, and the United States5. The method is also essentially the same as the broth microdilution method published by the European Committee on Antimicrob
39、ial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST)6. All these methods are based on those described by Ericsson and Sherris7.

This part of ISO 20776
41、does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this part of ISO 20776 to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1 Scope This part of ISO 20776 d
42、escribes one reference method, broth microdilution, for determination of MICs. 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 bacterial resistanc
43、e mechanisms. This allows categorization of bacteria as “susceptible” (S), “intermediate” (I), or “resistant” (R). In addition, MIC distributions can be used to define wild type or non-wild type bacterial populations. Although clinical interpretation of the MIC value is beyond the scope of this part
44、 of ISO 20776, modifications of the basic method are required for certain antimicrobial agent - bacteria combinations to facilitate clinical interpretation. These modifications are included in a separate table. It is advisable to compare other susceptibility testing methods (e.g. routine methods or
45、diagnostic test devices) with this reference method for validation, in order to ensure comparable and reliable results. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 antimicrobial agent substance of biological, semi-synthetic or synthetic o
