(a) Until final identifications are available, reports describe gram negative rods as lactose-fermenters (LF; such as E.coli, K lebsiella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter); non-lactose fermenters (NLF, such as Proteus, Serratia, Salmonella, Shigella), or non-fermenters (NF, such as Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Stenotrophomonas, and others, most of which are intrinsically more resistant to many antibiotics).
(b) Not all isolates tested against every antibiotic listed. (d) Data from isolate totals < 10 may be statistically unreliable. (c) Unlike aztreonam, aminoglycosides have synergistic activity with b-lactams (ex: piperacillin, ampicillin) against aerobic gram negative rods and enterococci. Aztreonam should only be used for treating documented infections due to susceptible organisms in patients with anaphylactic reactions to b-lactams. In patients with renal insufficiency, aminoglycosides can be administered safely when doses are adjusted for patient's renal function. For information on dosing, including single daily dosing, please contact a Clinical Pharmacist (beeper # available from unit secretary). (f) Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates not corrected for duplicates. (e) Cystic fibrosis patient isolates tested by disk diffusion. (g) Infectious Diseases consultation strongly recommended for determining treatment of Salmonella sp. recovered from blood.
