Sensitivity testing requires a standardised approach to plate innocultion and disc strengths used - the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC) guidelines publish a methology to ensure this. The plate requirement, dilution of the culture, the strength of antibiotic disc used, the interpretation of the disc size and the culture conditions are all specified in these guidelines, which ensures in vivo antiobiotic sensitivity. The remit is based on organism rather than species which the sampl originated from ,so it is a valid approach to ansure accurate sensitivity tests.
