Speaker
Janet A. Hindler, MCLS MT(ASCP), Sr. Specialist, Clinical Microbiology, UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Ms. Hindler has worked as a clinical microbiologist for over 40 years, the past 35 at UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA. She
has written and taught extensively in the area of antimicrobial susceptibility testing. From 2000-2004 she held a contract with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) where her focus was to develop and conduct training programs in antimicrobial
susceptibility testing. Ms. Hindler is now a consultant with the Association of Public Health Laboratories to continue in this role.
She is a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiology, member of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute
Subcommittee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility testing, consultant to CAP’s Microbiology Resource Committee, Past Chair of ASM
Division C and Past President of the Southern California Branch of ASM. Ms. Hindler was the 2006 recipient of ASM’s bioMerieux
Sonnenwirth award for leadership in clinical microbiology and in 2007 she received an award from the Clinical and Laboratory
Standards Institute for Excellence in Standards Development. In 2011, she received the John V. Bergen award, one of CLSI’s
highest honors. And in 2012, she was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from Albright College, her alma mater. Ms. Hindler
has served as a consultant to the World Health Organization and assisted in teaching individuals in developing countries about
antimicrobial susceptibility testing and antimicrobial resistance. One of Ms. Hindler's primary professional goals is to provide
antimicrobial susceptibility testing information to clinical laboratory scientists and clinicians.

CLSI Breakpoint
Additions / Revisions
Since 2010
“Newer” breakpoints
now referred to as
“current”!
“Previous breakpoints can be
found in the version of M100
that precedes the document
listed here, eg, previous
breakpoints for aztreonam are
listed in M100-S19 (January
2009).”
M100-S23. Page 23.

Breakpoint Revision Reminders!
Both CLSI and FDA set breakpoints for USA
Criteria for establishing breakpoints differ
slightly between CLSI and FDA
Clinical laboratories can use either CLSI or
FDA breakpoints
– If using FDA-cleared commercial AST system, clinical
laboratory must perform verification for CLSI
breakpoints on that system
Manufacturers of commercial AST devices
must use FDA breakpoints!
10
What is the status of FDA breakpoint
revisions?
CLSI and FDA breakpoints now the same
for:
– Ceftriaxone – Enterobacteriaceae (2010)
– Ertapenem – Enterobacteriaceae (2012)
– Imipenem – Enterobacteriaceae and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2012)
Check with manufacturer of your
commercial AST system for status!
11
Ceftaroline
12
jhindler clsi update 2013
4
2/1/2013
Ceftaroline (1)
 Broad-spectrum cephalosporin (with antiMRSA activity)
 IV only
 FDA clinical indications
– Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections
(ABSSSIs)
– Community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP)
– E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca
 Bactericidal against MRSA due to its affinity
for PBP2a and against penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae due to
its affinity for PBP2x
13
Ceftaroline (2)
 Not active against ESBL, ampC (class C), or
carbapenemase (e.g., KPC) producing
Enterobacteriaceae
 No significant activity against Pseudomonas
aeruginosa
 Some activity against anaerobes (not
Bacteroides fragilis Group)

16
Why do CLSI breakpoints differ slightly
from those of FDA?
 S. aureus
– CLSI added “I” and “R” because of strains with MICs of
2, 4, and 8 µg/ml reported outside the US
– “S” only breakpoint will not allow for testing variability
and create difficulties for labs when strains with MICs >
1 µg/ml are encountered
– Global surveillance - ceftaroline %S ( ≤1 µg/ml):
• MRSA (n=2849) 98.4%
• MSSA (n=5088) 100%
 S. pneumoniae, β-hemolytic streptococci,
Haemophilus spp.
– PK-PD data support breakpoint of ≤0.5 µg/ml and even
playing field for ceftaroline vs. other cephalosporins

When should we test ceftaroline?
– When requested, for species with breakpoints
– Note: may be prescribed for MRSA and used
to “cover” other species in confirmed or
suspected mixed infection
How can we test ceftaroline
(FDA cleared as of 2/1/13)
– Disk diffusion
• Hardy Diagnostics
– MIC
• Sensititre TREK MIC panels
• Etest – FDA cleared for S. aureus only
23
Salmonella spp.
• Testing / reporting recommendations
• Fluoroquinolones
24
jhindler clsi update 2013

Salmonella – Current Taxonomy
 Two major species
– Salmonella bongori (uncommon in human infections)
– Salmonella enterica
• Six subspecies including Salmonella enterica subsp.
enterica
 >2500 serovars
Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi
Salmonella ser. Typhi
Salmonella Typhi or S. Typhi
Typhoidal Salmonella = S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A-C
WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Salmonella
25
Salmonella Infections
 Typhoidal
– Require antimicrobial therapy from any source
– Usually ceftriaxone or fluoroquinolones in adults
 Non-typhoidal
– Systemic sources require antimicrobial therapy
– Gastroenteritis
• Usually self-limiting
• Therapy NOT recommended due to prolongation of carrier state
• Therapy often indicated for:
– Severe diarrhea
– Patients with underlying medical conditions (e.g.,
immunosuppression)
26
Salmonella spp.
AST and Reporting (1)
“(2) When fecal isolates of Salmonella and Shigella spp. are
tested, only ampicillin, a fluoroquinolone, and
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole should be reported
routinely. In addition, for extraintestinal isolates of
Salmonella spp., a third-generation cephalosporin
should be tested and reported, and chloramphenicol
may be tested and reported if requested.”
M100-S23. Page 44.
Also reminder… WARNING: For Salmonella spp., first- and secondgeneration cephalosporins, cephamycins and aminoglycosides may
appear active in vitro, but are not effective clinically and should not
be reported as susceptible.

Salmonella spp.
AST and Reporting (2)
“(2) Susceptibility testing is indicated for typhoidal
Salmonella (S. Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi
A–C) isolated from extraintestinal and
intestinal sources. Routine susceptibility
testing is not indicated for nontyphoidal
Salmonella spp. isolated from intestinal
sources.”
M100-S23. Page 44.
28
What is the issue for fluoroquinolones
(FQs) and Salmonella?
Clinical response rates to ciprofloxacin are
poorer for isolates with “decreased
ciprofloxacin susceptibility”
(MICs of 0.12 – 1.0 µg/ml)
Crump et al. 2008. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 52:1278.
Parry et al. 2010. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 54:5201.
MICs of 0.12 – 1.0 µg/ml are “S” with
standard “Enterobacteriaceae” breakpoints

Salmonella. Strains of Salmonella that test resistant to nalidixic acid
may be associated with clinical failure or delayed response in
fluoroquinolone-treated patients with salmonellosis.
Note that nalidixic acid may not detect all mechanisms of

When should we test Salmonella spp.?
– Extraintestinal isolates
– Typhoidal Salmonella from all sources
– Other when requested (select patient
populations?)
How can we test Salmonella spp. and
fluoroquinolones?
– Of commercial AST systems, only Etest currently
encompasses new low MIC breakpoints
– Ciprofloxacin disk diffusion
– Nalidixic acid but doesn’t capture all isolates with
reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility
37
Staphylococcus spp.
• Eliminate all β-lactam breakpoints except
oxacillin, cefoxitin, penicillin, ceftaroline
• Eliminate oxacillin disk test for S. aureus Group

Cefoxitin
– Surrogate for oxacillin
Ceftaroline (added 2013)
– Cephem with anti-MRSA activity
40
Why did CLSI remove other β-lactam
breakpoints for Staphylococcus spp.?
 Can predict results for β-lactams with
established clinical efficacy for staphylococcal
infections by testing penicillin and oxacillin /
cefoxitin (CLSI recommendation since 1991)
 Need to distinguish new cephems with activity
against MRSA from cephems with MSSA
activity only (eg, ceftaroline)
 Breakpoints deleted had never been
extensively evaluated specifically for
Staphylococcus spp.

“(24) For staphylococci that test susceptible, aminoglycosides
are used only in combination with other active agents that test
susceptible.”
•
Gentamicin – Test / Report Group “C” - Supplemental (report on special
request)
•
Not widely recommended to use gentamicin in combination therapy…see
Liu et al. 2011. Clin Infect Dis. 52:1
•
If gentamicin reported, consider adding comment to patient report re: not
to use gentamicin alone
M100-S23. Page 77. 47
What β-lactams should we test / report against
staphylococci?
– Oxacillin / cefoxitin
– Penicillin
• Test / report routinely?
• Report if “R”; suppress if “S” and add comment
“Contact laboratory if penicillin results needed”?
• Perform β-lactamase test if penicillin “S” prior to
reporting penicillin result
– Ceftaroline – as requested
How can we test β-lactams against staphylococci?
– Oxacillin – MIC only
– Cefoxitin – disk diffusion; MIC (S. aureus only)
– Penicillin – disk diffusion or MIC

What should we do about testing /
reporting for GC today?
– NAAT for routine diagnosis
– Maintain capability of performing C&S when
treatment failure suspected (reference lab
option?)
– Decreased susceptibility to cephalosporins
and/or cephalosporin therapeutic failures should
be reported to public health department

Inducible Clindamycin Resistance
•β-hemolytic Streptococcus spp.
•Streptococcus pneumoniae

Some Indications for Clindamycin
Therapy in 2013
 Penicillin-allergic patients
– E.g. dental infections, aspiration pneumonia, lung
abscess, head and neck infections, pelvic infections
– Intrapartum prophylaxis for highly penicillin-allergic
women colonized with Group B Streptococcus
 Strep throat – penicillin therapy failures
 Bone and joint infections
 Notes:
– Often more use in peds than adults
– Concern – Clostridium difficile

Inducible Clindamycin Resistance
 Staphylococcus aureus
– Known poor outcome with clindamycin therapy for
isolates with inducible clindamycin resistance
Lewis et al. 2005. Clin Infect Dis. 40:280.
 β-hemolytic streptococci
– New data (J Jorgensen. June 2012. CLSI meeting presentation)
• Four human cases of infection (inducible clindamycin resistance)
did not resolve on clindamycin therapy
• 2 Streptococcus agalactiae, 1 Group A streptococcus,
1 Group C streptococcus
No isolate had constitutive clindamycin resistance
after failed clindamycin therapy
 β-hemolytic streptococci and S. pneumoniae
– Recent animal model data suggest inducible clindamycin
resistance is clinically significant

Ampicillin
Ampicillin-sulbactam
Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin-clavulanate
Cefaclor
Cefdinir
Cefditoren
Cefepime
Cefotaxime
Cefpodoxime

Deleted: “Penicillin MICs ≤2 µg/mL indicate susceptibility to parenteral
penicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefepime, cefotaxime,
ceftriaxone, and ertapenem.”
Only extrapolate if penicillin MIC is ≤0.06 µg/ml
or oxacillin zone is ≥20 mm

Strains with mosaic PBP genes can
have
– Low penicillin MICs (<1 µg/ml) and high
cefotaxime MICs (2-32 µg/ml)
– Low penicillin MICs (1-2 µg/ml) and higher
amoxicillin MICs (4-8 µg/ml)

When should we report doxycycline on S.
pneumoniae?
When AST is performed, if drug is on panel,
and stakeholders agree it should be reported
routinely; non-CSF isolates.
When can we extrapolate penicillin “S”
results to other -lactam agents?
For non-meningitis, if penicillin MIC is ≤0.06
µg/mL and drug of interest is listed in CLSI

QC
Verification
To ensure AST quality, lab must perform:
• QC - routine
• Verification – when new AST system introduced or
new drug added to existent AST system
• CLIA requirement per CLIA 42 CFR 493.1253[b]
• Reference - ASM Cumitech 31A (2009)

Frequency of Routine QC Testing
Options
Each day test is performed
Weekly following documentation of
successful daily QC
– 20-30 day plan
– New 3 x 5 day plan
For weekly QC, documentation needed when:
• Add New AST system
• Add new drug
• Modify certain test variables – see M100-S23 Tables 3C & 4F
88
Routine AST QC – New Option
Convert from Daily to Weekly QC Schedule
(for each drug / organism combination)
 “3 x 5 day plan”
– Perform 3 tests each day for 5 days (15 results)
– Use 3 separate inoculum preparations for each
replicate / day
– Statistically comparable to current plan (20-30
day) for identifying problems
 Advantages
– Possibly identify problems quicker
– Complete QC testing quicker
– Utilize fewer resources
89
3 x 5 Day QC Plan – 2 Phases
 Phase 1 – test 3 replicates for 5 days (15 results)
– PASS if 0-1 of 15 results out of range
– FAIL if ≥4 of 15 results out of range
– Go to Phase 2 if 2-3 of 15 results out of range
 Phase 2 – test another 3 replicates for 5 days (15
more results)
– PASS if 2-3 of 30 results out of range
– FAIL if ≥4 of 30 results out of range

Summary (1)
 CLSI updates AST tables (M100) each January.
 CLSI updates documents that describe how to perform
reference disk diffusion (M02) and reference MIC (M07)
tests every 3 years.
 Changes to CLSI documents are summarized in the front
of each document.
 Information listed in boldface type is new or modified
since the previous edition of M100.
 Recent breakpoint addition/revision dates are listed in the
front of M100-S23.
 Manufacturers of commercial AST systems, by law, MUST
use FDA breakpoints.
103
Summary (2)
 FDA breakpoints have recently been revised for ceftriaxone
and ertapenem (Enterobacteriaceae) and for imipenem
(Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
 M100-S23 contains breakpoints for ceftaroline, a broadspectrum cephalosporin with anti-MRSA activity, for
several organism groups.
 Routine susceptibility testing is not indicated for
nontyphoidal Salmonella spp. isolated from intestinal
sources.
 M100-S23 includes unique breakpoints for ciprofloxacin,
levofloxacin and ofloxacin for use when testing any
Salmonella spp.
104
Summary (3)
 Reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin is most
commonly found in typhoidal strains of Salmonella spp.
 The only β-lactams with breakpoints for Staphylococcus
spp. in M100-S23 are penicillin, oxacillin, cefoxitin, and
ceftaroline.
 When testing Staphylococcus spp., results for antistaphylococcal β-lactams other than penicillin, oxacillin,
cefoxitin, and ceftaroline can be deduced from testing
penicillin and oxacillin (or cefoxitin).
 The oxacillin disk diffusion test is no longer considered
reliable for any Staphylococcus spp. Cefoxitin disks are
used to detect methicillin-resistant S. aureus and
coagulase-negative staphylococcus.
105
jhindler clsi update 2013

2/1/2013
Summary (4)
 Emerging resistance to cephalosporins in Neisseria
gonorrhoeae is a significant public health concern.
 Laboratories should maintain the ability to provide culture
and susceptibility testing of N. gonorrhoeae for patients
who are considered treatment failures. This might include
reference laboratory alignment as an alternative to in
house testing.
 Inducible clindamycin resistance has been reported to be
clinically significant for S. aureus.
 More recently, studies have shown inducible clindamycin
resistance can be clinically significant for Streptococcus
pneumoniae and β-hemolytic streptococci.
106
Summary (5)
 Testing for inducible clindamycin resistance in
erythromycin-R and clindamycin-S isolates of S. aureus,
S. pneumoniae and β-hemolytic streptococci should be
performed if clindamycin is reported.
 AST should be performed on isolates of Group B
streptococci from highly penicillin-allergic women. This
should include testing for inducible clindamycin
resistance, and only clindamycin (not erythromycin)
should be reported.
 Doxycycline can now be tested against S. pneumoniae,
when indicated.
 Results for β-lactams other than penicillin (nonmeningitis
isolates) can be deduced from S. pneumoniae that have
penicillin MICs ≤0.06 µg/ml or oxacillin zones ≥20 mm.
107
Summary (6)
 To ensure AST quality, laboratories must perform routine
QC testing. In addition, verification studies are required
when a new AST system is added, a new drug is added to
an existent AST system, or there is a change in certain
testing variables.
 Routine QC testing can be done daily or weekly; the latter
providing there is documentation that daily QC has been
satisfactorily performed.
 An alternative to documenting daily QC by use of the 2030 day QC plan is the new 3 x 5 day QC plan.
 For screening tests, QC of the susceptible strain must be
performed routinely but the resistant QC strain need only
be tested with each new lot/shipment of testing materials.

Summary (7)
 M100-S23 now contains tables that define intrinsic
resistance profiles for Enterobacteriaceae and also nonEnterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus spp. and
Enterococcus spp.
 Minutes of CLSI AST Subcommittee meetings and other
materials are available at www.clsi.org.
 CLSI and other groups welcome help with improving
susceptibility testing!
