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

Molecular Characteristics of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates Causing Bacteremia in the Calgary Health Region from 2000 to 2007: Emergence of Clone ST131 as a Cause of Community-Acquired Infections
TL;DR: The results illustrated that E. coli clone ST131, which coproduces CTX-M-15, OXA-1, TEM- 1, and aac(6′)-Ib-cr, has emerged as an important cause of community-onset bacteremia caused by ESBL-producing E. bacteria.

Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis from Patients with Community-Acquired Respiratory Tract Infections: Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (United States and Canada, 1997)
TL;DR: A large number of community-acquired respiratory tract isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis from 27 U.S. and 7 Canadian medical centers were characterized as part of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, finding no differences noted between isolates recovered in the United States and those from Canada.

Antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolates from broiler chickens and humans.
TL;DR: While there did not appear to be a common source for multiple drug resistance in the strains from avian or human origin, the genes encoding resistance are similar and suggest that genes are disseminated in the environment and warrant further investigation of the possibility for avian sources acting as reservoirs for tetracycline resistance.

Bloodstream Infections Caused by Metallo-β-Lactamase/ Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing K. pneumoniae among Intensive Care Unit Patients in Greece: Risk Factors for Infection and Impact of Type of Resistance on Outcomes

TL;DR: Isolation of KPC-producing K. pneumoniae BSIs resulted in significantly increased mortality, and was an independent predictor of ICU death and in-hospital death but not infection-attributable death.

TL;DR: Mutations identified in rplV and rplC, encoding 50S ribosomal proteins L22 and L3, respectively, were found to be associated with the slow growth, but not with the phenotype of decreased susceptibility to vancomycin and daptomycin, of 10*3d1.
