In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Aerococcus urinae
Abstract
Aerococcus urinae may cause urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and endocarditis. No standardized susceptibility test methods or interpretive criteria have been proposed for this organism. This study reports the MIC results for 128 A. urinae isolates tested by broth microdilution. The isolates had low MICs to amoxicillin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, doxycycline, linezolid, meropenem, penicillin, rifampin, tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and vancomycin. However, 55% of the isolates had MICs to clindamycin of >0.25 μg/ml, 44% had MICs to erythromycin of >0.25 μg/ml, and 16% had MICs to levofloxacin of >2 μg/ml.
