  • Title: Antimicrobial susceptibility of Abiotrophia adiacens and Abiotrophia defectiva.
    Author: Tuohy MJ, Procop GW, Washington JA.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2000 Nov; 38(3):189-91. PubMed ID: 11109021.
    Abstract:
    The susceptibilities of 27 Abiotrophia adiacens (proposed reclassification Granulicatella adiacens comb.nov., Collins & Lawson, 2000) and 12 Abiotrophia defectiva isolates were tested by microdilution in pyridoxal hydrochloride and lysed horse blood supplemented Mueller-Hinton broth. According to NCCLS interpretative criteria for Streptococcus spp. not Streptococcus pneumoniae, the susceptibilities of A. adiacens and A. defectiva were, respectively: penicillin, 55% and 8%; amoxicillin, 81% and 92%; ceftriaxone, 63% and 83%; meropenem, 96% and 100%; and 100% for both species with clindamycin, rifampin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, quinupristin/dalfopristin, and vancomycin.
