Unlocking the Power of MIC in Veterinary Medicine

WRITTEN BY: Sarah Hoffman

As antimicrobial resistance escalates, veterinary professionals face mounting pressure to prescribe antibiotics with precision and confidence. In this whitepaper, Dr. Libby Graham—renowned veterinary diagnostician and Founding Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Microbiology—highlights how Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) testing enhances antimicrobial stewardship by providing critical data to guide effective treatment decisions.

With over 25 years of expertise in clinical diagnostics and veterinary microbiology, Dr. Graham explores why MIC is the most accurate and informative method for susceptibility testing—and how it empowers veterinarians to optimize antibiotic selection and dosing strategies. From interpreting AST results to leveraging MIC values for evidence-based decision-making, this paper provides actionable insights critical to improving therapeutic outcomes and safeguarding antibiotic efficacy.

Whether you're a veterinary clinician, microbiologist, or diagnostic lab professional, this resource from Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a practical insight to enhance evidence-based decision-making, improve treatment outcomes, and safeguard antibiotic efficacy.
