Which of the following groups of bacteria have Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines that describe specific testing methods and interpretative standards for susceptibility reporting?
a. A. facilis and Stenotrophomonas malto-philia
b. P. fluorescens and R. mannitolilytica
c. P. aeruginosa and B. pseudomallei
d. B. cepacia and B. vesicularis
C
The Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines describe specific testing methods (e.g., disk diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration) and provide interpretative standards for susceptibility reporting of P. aeruginosa, B. cepacia, S. maltophilia in the CLSI M100 series document. Guidelines for minimal inhibitory concentration assays for other non-Enterobacteriaceae isolates, including Pseudomonas spp. other than P. aeruginosa, can be found in the same document. Testing methods for more fastidious organisms, such as B. pseu-domallei and B. mallei, are published in the CLSI M45 series document. See Chapter 12 for more information.
