Definition discriminating concentration used in the interpretation of results of susceptibility testing to define isolates as susceptible, intermediate or resistant Reference "British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC) website > Alasdair P.

Comment "These concentrations range from x mg/L (low) to y mg/L (high) and an isolate is characterised as:- susceptible (S), if at a concentration < less than x mg/L there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success- intermediate (I), if at a concentration more than x and less than y mg/L the therapeutic effect is uncertain, and- resistant (R), if at a concentration more than y mg/L there a high likelihood of therapeutic failure.For more information, see also: EUCAST definitions of clinical breakpoints and epidemiological cut-off values, http://www.srga.org/Eucastwt/eucastdefinitions.htm [22.11.2013]"
