Ampicillin and nitrofurantoin MIC breakpoints were established, and penicillin MIC breakpoints were adjusted, based largely on MIC distributions and pharmacokinetic data. Disk criteria were established for penicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, nitrofurantoin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and tetracycline. Disk breakpoints could not be established for cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, or meropenem using standard CLSI disk masses due to large zones of growth inhibition that did not differentiate between MIC values and error rates that far exceeded CLSI standards. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole breakpoints were also not possible to establish due to differences in thymidine content between MIC and disk diffusion testing media, which led to no correlation between MIC values and zones of growth inhibition for this antibiotic.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is required for the management of these infections, as species within the genus display resistance to various antimicrobial agents. This study describes the data that informed updates to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M45 guideline for AST of fastidious or infrequently isolated bacteria. We describe the introduction of new ampicillin and nitrofurantoin breakpoints, updated MIC breakpoints for penicillin, and disk diffusion correlates for penicillin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, and tetracycline.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.00115-25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,14]],"date-time":"2025-05-14T09:01:16Z","timestamp":1747213276000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Development of disk diffusion susceptibility test methods for\n                    <i>Aerococcus<\/i>\n                    spp. and updates to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute MIC breakpoints"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"Richard","family":"Maynard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02vm5rt34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center","place":["Nashville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmila","family":"Manuel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02vm5rt34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center","place":["Nashville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Synthia","family":"Simpkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02vm5rt34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center","place":["Nashville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Haro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02vm5rt34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center","place":["Nashville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathan","family":"Ledeboer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine","place":["Baltimore, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6134-151X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Patricia J.","family":"Simner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00qqv6244","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology, Medical College of Wisconsin","place":["Milwaukee, USA"]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine","place":["Baltimore, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Fisher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03r0ha626","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology and ARUP Laboratories, The University of Utah","place":["Salt Lake City, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6568-156X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Romney","family":"Humphries","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02vm5rt34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center","place":["Nashville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2012.12.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmi.2015.09.026"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijsem.0.006066"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2017.12.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diagmicrobio.2014.11.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01700552"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00365548.2010.485576"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diagmicrobio.2010.09.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-022-04730-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/cclm-2024-0070"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","volume-title":"Clinical microbiology procedures handbook","author":"Yarbrough M","year":"2023","unstructured":"Yarbrough M, Potter R. 2023.
