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

Genetic Methods for Assessing Antimicrobial Resistance
TL;DR: The intent of this review is to describe the principles and applications of the more frequently reported genetic methods for evaluating antimicrobial resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and Reporting of Organisms Producing Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases: Survey of Laboratories in Connecticut
TL;DR: It is suggested that many laboratories have difficulty detecting resistance in ESBL and AmpC-producing organisms and may be unaware of the NCCLS guidelines on modifying susceptibility testing reports for ESBL-producing strains.

Efficacy of Colistin versus β-Lactams, Aminoglycosides, and Rifampin as Monotherapy in a Mouse Model of Pneumonia Caused by Multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii

TL;DR: It is concluded that colistin did not appear as a good option for treatment of patients with pneumonia due to carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii strains and other alternatives, including combinations with rifampin, may offer better therapeutic profiles and thus should be studied.

mcr-9, an Inducible Gene Encoding an Acquired Phosphoethanolamine Transferase in Escherichia coli, and Its Origin

TL;DR: This work showed that mcr genes may circulate silently and remain undetected unless induced by colistin, and shared significant amino acid identity with the chromosomally encoded MCR-like proteins from Buttiauxella spp.

Linezolid resistance in Staphylococcus aureus: gene dosage effect, stability, fitness costs, and cross-resistances.
TL;DR: It is shown that the accumulation of a single point mutation, G2576T, in the different copies of this gene causes stepwise increases in resistance, impairment of the biological fitness, and cross-resistance to quinupristin-dalfopristin and chloramphenicol.
