Antibiotic panels for susceptibility testing and reporting
NordicAST's activities are focused on methodological issues. The committee does not provide recommendations on the choice of antibiotic panels for susceptibility testing and reporting. However, there are national recommendations both in Norway (AFA) and Sweden (RAF) which are updated annually (see links below). For the other countries there are no official national recommendations.
