FDA Perspective on Epidemiological Cut-off Values (ECVs)
The FDA presents insights on the development and use of Epidemiological Cut-off Values (ECVs) to distinguish wild-type populations from those with acquired resistance mechanisms. ECVs are crucial for determining antimicrobial susceptibility and guiding treatment decisions. The process involves analy

Overview of Epidemiological Cutoff Values (ECVs) in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Epidemiological Cutoff Values (ECVs) are crucial in determining antimicrobial susceptibility by distinguishing wild-type and non-wild-type microbial populations. ECVs are defined based on factors like minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and genetic variation, and are determined through specific m
