The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recently published specific breakpoints for Aerococcus spp (M45, third edition); however, the standardized method used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) requires media not often maintained in clinical laboratories. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare alternative methods of AST for Aerococcus isolates.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>AST was performed on 134 clinical isolates using the Etest on three different types of agar, Vitek 2, and BD Phoenix.

Variable resistance was seen to levofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and tetracycline. Meropenem and vancomycin met all acceptance criteria with every alternative method tested. Benzylpenicillin and linezolid did not meet essential agreement on any AST method. Tetracycline met the majority of acceptance criteria with the exception of more than 3% very major error when using the Etest on chocolate agar, the Vitek 2, and BD Phoenix.<\/jats:p>\n
