    • In a recent report of a systematic review of critical concentrations (CCs), the World Health Organization (WHO) lowered the rifampin (RIF) CC for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex using Middlebrook 7H10 medium and the Bactec Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) 960 system from 1 to 0.5mg/ ml. The previous RIF CC for 7H10 had been in use for over half a century. Because it had served as the de facto reference standard, it contributed to the endorsement of inappropriately high CCs for other AST methods, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved MGIT system. Moreover, this resulted in confusion about the interpretation of seven borderline resistance mutations in rpoB (i.e., L430P, D435Y, H445L, H445N, H445S, L452P, and I491F). In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Shea et al. (J Clin Microbiol 59:e01885-20, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01885-20) provide evidence that the CC endorsed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute for the Sensititre MYCOTB system, which is not FDA approved but is CE-IVD marked in the European Union, is likely also too high. These findings underscore the importance of calibrating AST methods against a rigorously defined reference standard, as recently proposed by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, as well as the value of routine next-generation sequencing for investigating discordant AST results.
