Clinical Impact of Revised Cefepime Breakpoint in Patients With Enterobacteriaceae Bacteremia
Abstract The impact of the revised Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute interpretative criteria for cefepime in Enterobacteriaceae remains unclear. We applied the new breakpoint on 644 previously defined cefepime-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae isolates. We found no differences in mortality or microbiological failure, regardless of

Tigecycline Disk Diffusion Breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp.: a Clinical Point of View [PDF]
In the January 2007 issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Jones et al. reported a multicenter study of the tigecycline disk diffusion breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp., including multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. The authors concluded that a breakpoint zone diameter of 16/12 mm to define susceptibility/resistance, respectively, instead of ...

Mechanisms for Complex Chromosomal Insertions. [PDF]
Chromosomal insertions are genomic rearrangements with a chromosome segment inserted into a non-homologous chromosome or a non-adjacent locus on the same chromosome or the other homologue, constituting ~2% of nonrecurrent copy-number gains.

A proposal of clinical breakpoints for amoxicillin applicable to porcine respiratory tract pathogens [PDF]
In the present position paper, an attempt was made to establish clinical breakpoints of amoxicillin to classify porcine respiratory tract pathogens as susceptible, intermediate or resistant based on their minimum inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin.
