In January 2019, the European Committee for the Study of Antimicrobial Susceptibility (EUCAST) introduced some changes in the definitions of clinical categories for antibiotic susceptibility. The objective of these changes was to improve the credibility of category "I", optimizing and lengthening the survival and use of available antibiotics in the face of increasing antimicrobial resistance. This article aims to describe and explain these changes in the EUCAST criteria as well as make a short review about the factors on which the antibiotic susceptibility criteria depend.
2019 年 1 月,欧洲抗菌药物敏感性研究委员会(EUCAST)对抗生素药敏性临床分类定义进行了一些修改。这些变化的目的是提高类别“ I”的可信度,在面对不断增加的抗微生物药物耐药性的情况下,优化和延长现有抗生素的生存和使用。本文旨在描述和解释 EUCAST 标准中的这些变化,并简要回顾影响抗生素药敏性标准的因素。
