TLDR
The supplemental information presented in this document is intended for use with the antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures published in the following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)–approved standards.Abstract:
The supplemental information presented in this document is intended for use with the antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures published in the following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)–approved standards: M02-A12—Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility Tests; Approved Standard—Twelfth Edition; M07-A10—Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard—Tenth Edition; and M11-A8—Methods for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobic Bacteria; Approved Standard— Eighth Edition. The standards contain information about both disk (M02) and dilution (M07 and M11) test procedures for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Clinicians depend heavily on information from the microbiology laboratory for treatment of their seriously ill patients. The clinical importance of antimicrobial susceptibility test results demands that these tests be performed under optimal conditions and that laboratories have the capability to provide results for the newest antimicrobial agents. The tabular information presented here represents the most current information for drug selection, interpretation, and QC using the procedures standardized in the most current editions of M02, M07, and M11. Users should replace the tables published earlier with these new tables. (Changes in the tables since the previous edition appear in boldface type.)

The data in the interpretive tables in this supplement are valid only if the methodologies in M02-A12—Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility Tests; Approved Standard—Twelfth Edition; M07-A10—Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard—Tenth Edition; and M11-A8—Methods for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobic Bacteria; Approved Standard— Eighth Edition are followed.read more

Antibacterial Activities of Iron Chelators against Common Nosocomial Pathogens
TL;DR: Iron chelators evaluated against type strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli inhibited growth in standard and RPMI tissue culture medium, while deferoxamine had no effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced Chlorhexidine and Daptomycin Susceptibility in Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium after Serial Chlorhexidine Exposure.
TL;DR: The results are clinically significant because they identify a link between serial subinhibitory CHX exposure and reduced DAP susceptibility and offer new insights into the mechanisms underlying the emergence of antibiotic resistance in VREfm.

Emergence of OXA-48 and OXA-181 Carbapenemases among Enterobacteriaceae in South Africa and Evidence of In Vivo Selection of Colistin Resistance as a Consequence of Selective Decontamination of the Gastrointestinal Tract

TL;DR: The emergence of OXA-48-like carbapenemases among isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in South Africa was documented following selective digestive tract decontamination with oral colistin, which is therefore strongly discouraged.

Epidemiologic distribution of the arginine catabolic mobile element among selected methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus isolates
Richard V. Goering,Linda K. McDougal,Greg E. Fosheim,Kristin K. Bonnstetter,Daniel J. Wolter,Fred C. Tenover +5 more
TL;DR: DNA sequence analysis confirmed the integration of ACME in orfX and confirmed the presence of arcA in Staphylococcus aureus isolates tested for the arcA locus of the arginine catabolic mobile element.

Bacteraemia Due to Tribe Proteeae: A Review of 132 Cases During a Decade (1991-2000)
TL;DR: Morganella bacteraemia was most frequently associated with biliary infection, while Proteus bacteraemic was most commonly associated with UTI.
