Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) is a laboratory process used to determine whether bacteria or fungi are susceptible, intermediate, or resistant to antimicrobial agents. In Europe, AST is standardized primarily by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, which publishes internationally recognized testing methods, breakpoints, and guidance to support effective antimicrobial therapy and monitor antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
