Recommended Media M45-A2 (Broth microdilution MIC) Plain Mueller Hinton broth – Aeromonas, Plesiomonas, Vibrio, Bacillus, M. catarrhalis, some BT agents Mueller Hinton + 2.5-5% lysed horse blood – same as recommendation for streptococci – Abiotrophia/Granulicatella (+0.001% pyridoxal), Campylobacter, Coryneforms and Corynebacterium spp., Erysipelothrix, HACEK, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Listeria, Pasteurella, Pediococcus (some need CO 2 or other special incubation atmosphere and/or extended incubation) Other – Helicobacter pylori, some BT agents

Can we test M45-A2 organisms with a commercial AST system? Disk diffusion - OK – Number of drug/bugs for which disk diffusion method is described is limited MICs limited – Few tests FDA cleared for M45-A2 organisms; low range of drug concentrations may not be available If NOT FDA cleared – Confirm reliability by performing in house verification / validation – Qualify results Remember: if you cannot confidently test in your laboratory, SEND to a reliable reference laboratory
