¨         *Escherichia coli                           Outpatient TMP/SMX susceptibility is 70%.  Outpatient ciprofloxacin susceptibility

                                                             is 78%. Nitrofurantoin susceptibility is 97% and should only be used for uncomplicated

                                                             UTIs in patients with CrCl>60ml/min.  Outpatient cefazolin susceptibility is 87%.

¨          Haemophilus influenzae                   National incidence of b-lactamase production is 37%

¨          Stenotrophomonas maltophilia    Routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing is performed on sterile sites.  TMP/SMX

                                                             is the most active agent versus this organism.  Contact ID or ID pharmacy for alternatives.

¨             *Staphylococcus aureus               Outpatient Nafcillin susceptibility 66%. (Nafcillin resistance predicts cephalosporin resistance)

¨             Enterococcus species                   Enterococcus faecalis is 100% AMP susceptible. Enterococcus faecium can be multi-drug resistant. Check vancomycin susceptibilities for all isolates from sterile sites.  The addition of gentamicin (1 mg/kg Q8h) is required for bactericidal activity in serious systemic enterococcal infections.  Of 110 enterococcal bacteremias in 2008, 57 were due to Enterococcus faecium.  95% of the Enterococcus faecium were vancomycin resistant. Of the 54 VRE blood isolates in 2008, all were linezolid susceptible.

¨             Streptococcus pneumoniae          29% (20/70 isolates) were penicillin non-susceptible.  3 isolates were levofloxacin-resistant and 1 was intermediate to levofloxacin.  2/31 isolates were CTX resistant.  NOTE: For the treatment of meningitis, pending susceptibilities, VANC empirically should be added to the regimen since failures (due to highly resistant isolates) have  been reported with ALL third generation cephalosporins

¨            Anaerobes                                          Routine antimicrobial susceptibility is not performed; results are not reproducible.  B. fragilis group universally produced β-lactamase.  Metronidazole, piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem, meropenem all cover >98% of anaerobes.
