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.) Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. 26th ed. CLSI supplement M100S (ISBN 1-56238-923-8 [Print]; ISBN 1-56238924-6 [Electronic]). Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, 950 West Valley Road, Suite 2500, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087 USA, 2016. 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

Novel Brucella Strain (BO1) Associated with a Prosthetic Breast Implant Infection
Barun K. De,Larry Stauffer,Mark S. Koylass,Susan E. Sharp,Jay E. Gee,Leta O. Helsel,Arnold G. Steigerwalt,Robert Vega,Thomas A. Clark,Maryam I. Daneshvar,Patricia P. Wilkins,Adrian M. Whatmore +11 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the isolate isolated from a breast implant wound in a 71-year-old woman with clinical symptoms consistent with brucellosis is much more closely related to Brucella than to Ochrobactrum spp.

Do biofilm formation and interactions with human cells explain the clinical success of Acinetobacter baumannii
Anna de Breij,L. Dijkshoorn,Ellen Lagendijk,Joke M. van der Meer,Abraham J. Koster,Guido V. Bloemberg,Ron Wolterbeek,Peterhans J. van den Broek,Peter H. Nibbering +8 more
TL;DR: The induction of a weak inflammatory response may provide a clue to the persistence of A. baumannii in patients as well as other, clinically less relevant Acinetobacter species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of CTX-M-Type β-Lactamase Genes in Fecal Escherichia coli Isolates from Healthy Children in Bolivia and Peru
Lucia Pallecchi,Monica Malossi,Antonia Mantella,Eduardo Gotuzzo,Christian Trigoso,Alessandro Bartoloni,Franco Paradisi,Göran Kronvall,Gian Maria Rossolini +8 more
TL;DR: The findings of the present study confirm the widespread distribution of CTX-M-type β-lactamases and underscore the role that commensal E. coli isolates could play as a potential reservoir of these clinically relevant resistance determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus carriage among dogs and their owners
TL;DR: High rates of resistance indicate increased monitoring of antibiotic use in veterinary practice is needed, and health-care workers' pets should be considered as a source of S. aureus in outbreak situations.

Bacteriophages with the Ability to Degrade Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli Biofilms
Andrew Chibeu,Erika J. Lingohr,Luke Masson,Amee R. Manges,Josée Harel,Hans-W. Ackermann,Andrew M. Kropinski,Patrick Boerlin +7 more
TL;DR: This study characterized 253 UPEC in terms of their biofilm-forming capabilities, serotype, and antimicrobial resistance, and assessed the ability of the three phages to eradicate the established biofilm of one of the UPEC strains used in the study.
