Veterinary Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (VAST) is a laboratory-based diagnostic tool used to determine the effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs in treating bacterial infections in animals. VAST is used to identify the most effective drug for a particular infection, as well as to monitor the development of drug resistance. It is an important tool for veterinarians to ensure the best possible treatment for their patients. VAST is used to test a variety of bacterial species, including those that cause common infections in animals such as skin and respiratory infections. The test involves culturing the bacteria in the laboratory and then exposing them to different concentrations of antimicrobial drugs. The results of the test can then be used to determine the most effective drug for the infection. VAST is an important tool for veterinarians to ensure the best possible treatment for their patients. Companies that provide VAST services include IDEXX Laboratories, Neogen Corporation, and VCA Laboratories. Show Less Read more
