International audience. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute has published epidemiological cut-off values for susceptibility data generated at 22°°C and read after 44-48 h for florfenicol, oxolinic acid and oxytetracycline against Aeromonas salmonicida. The cut-off values for the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and disc diffusion were derived from data obtained by 1 laboratory and 2 laboratories respectively. The present work reports the generation of susceptibility data from additional laboratories and the calculation of provisional cut-off values from aggregations of these data with previously published data. With respect to MIC data, the provisional cut-off values, derived from aggregations of the data from 4 laboratories, were ≤4 µg ml-1 for florfenicol, ≤0.0625 µg ml-1 for oxolinic acid and ≤1 µg ml-1 for oxytetracycline. For disc diffusion data, the provisional cut-off values derived from aggregations of the data from 5 laboratories were ≥30 mm for florfenicol, ≥32 mm for oxolinic acid and ≥25 mm for oxytetracycline. In addition, a cut-off value of ≥29 mm for ampicillin was derived from the aggregation of data from 4 laboratories.
