Streptococcus pneumoniae
resistance & M.I.C.


Streptococcus pneumoniae no longer has predictable antibiotic susceptibility. Strains with low-level penicillin  resistance still respond to penicillin in respiratory tract infections and bacteraemia, but not in meningitis. 
Where Oxacillin 1 µg is used as a screen for beta-lactam resistance EUCAST recommends an MIC is obtained where the zone is  <20mm

Comparative testing between  BMD and gradient diffusion testing  has highlighted concerns about the reliability of gradient diffusion tests for determining the MIC of H. influenza
A EUCAST poster at ECCMID 2016 stated he correlation between gradient test MICs and BMD is poo
