In recent years, antimicrobial resistance in bacteria of animal origin, including food-producing animals, pet and companion animals, fish and other aquatic animals as well as wild animals, has gained particular attention. Consequently, an increasing number of studies that include antimicrobial susceptibility testing have been published. However, an analysis of recently published articles revealed a number of frequently occurring shortcomings, which may have an impact either directly on the quality of the results obtained or on the conclusions drawn. This editorial is intended to highlight the major pitfalls and provide guidance for authors, and reviewers on the correct performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing as well as the presentation of the obtained results and the proper comparison of data from different studies.
