¨         *Escherichia coli                           Outpatient TMP/SMX susceptibility is 68%.  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 92%.

¨          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 70%. (Nafcillin resistance predicts cephalosporin resistance)

¨             Enterococcus species                    Enterococcus faecalis species are 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 89 enterococcal bacteremias in 2010, 66 were due to Enterococcus faecium.  59 (89%) of the Enterococcus faecium were vancomycin resistant.

¨             Streptococcus pneumoniae          27% (12/43 isolates) were penicillin non-susceptible.  All isolates were levofloxacin-susceptible.   5/25 isolates were CTX intermediate (3/25 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.
