Abstract

Aerococcus urinae is a urinary pathogen with well-described resistance to fluoroquinolones. This study aimed to validate the gradient diffusion (GD) method (Etest) on cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton agar with 5% sheep blood for testing the susceptibilities of Aerococcus urinae to the antimicrobial agents ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin and to compare the Etest to the broth microdilution (BMD) method from CLSI document M45-A3.
