MIC testing of M. catarrhalis with ampicillin/amoxycillin

Presentation of MIC breakpoints (mg/L)
(Major organisational change)
In line with European consensus (EUCAST)
MIC  (as previously) MIC breakpoint
concentration = organism susceptible
MIC > (previously ) MIC breakpoint
concentration = organism resistant
Appearance in the tables
Previously R  16, S  8
Changes to R > 8, S  8
Avoids the theoretical `gap’ inherent in the
previous system
MIC and zone breakpoints for
Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter
g. Salmonella spp. – for ciprofloxacin there is clinical
evidence to indicate a poor response in systemic infections
caused by Salmonella spp. with reduced susceptibility to
fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin MICs 0.125-1 mg/L). This
reduced susceptibility is most reliably detected with
nalidixic acid 30 g discs as strains with reduced
susceptibility show no zone of inhibition.
N. gonorrhoeae
Resistance to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime and cefixime
has not been described, however isolates with
chromosomally encoded reduced susceptibility to
penicillin have slightly reduced zones of inhibition
with these antibiotics but remain susceptible. Results
for isolates with reduced zones around ceftriaxone,
cefotaxime and cefixime discs should be confirmed by
MIC determinations.
NB. Referral to the Reference Laboratory at Colindale
Only send isolates with reduced susceptibility to azithromycin
or the cephalosporins
Detection of ESBLs in E. coli and
Klebsiella species
As a general rule laboratories should test isolates to both
ceftazidime (best indicator for TEM and SHV-derived
ESBLs) and cefotaxime (the best indicator for CTX-M types)
Alternatively, cefpodoxime can be used as an indicator for
all ESBLs
Any organism showing reduced susceptibility to
ceftazidime, cefotaxime or cefpodoxime should be
investigated for ESBL production
Many different methods but all depend on detecting
synergy between clavulanic acid and the indicator
antibiotic/s used in primary screening
S. maltophilia:All isolates with co-amoxyclav MICs of 32 mg/L
Data provided by Anna King
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Difficult to test because results are affected by
temperature of incubation and media content.
All aminoglycosides, polymixins and
carbapenems should be reported resistant
without testing
Most, but not all, S. maltophilia are susceptible
to cotrimoxazole.
Testing should be at 300C zone of  20 mm = S.
For -lactams and quinolones susceptibility
testing is unreliable, but combinations of
ciprofloxacin and a -lactam or aztreonam and
co-amoxyclav have had a favourable clinical
response.
Testing for dissociated resistance in
staphylococci
Organisms
exhibiting blunting
Isolate has MLSB
and clindamycin
should be used
with caution (if at
all).
