1 EUCAST Expert s Version 3.1 Intrinsic Resistance and Exceptional Phenotypes Tables EUCAST Expert s version 2.0 was published on 29 October 2011( The expert rules have been under review over the past year and changes to the intrinsic resistance and exceptional phenotypes tables have been agreed following wide consultation (October-December 2015) and further discussion in the EUCAST Steering Committee. The revised intrinsic resistance and exceptional phenotypes tables 1-7 (version 3.0), together with a summary of changes from version 2.0, were published on 9 September Version 3.1includes corrections to typographical errors in version 3.0.

4 Table 1. Intrinsic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae. Enterobacteriaceae are also intrinsically resistant to benzylpenicillin, glycopeptides, fusidic acid, macrolides (with some exceptions 1 ), lincosamides, streptogramins, rifampicin, daptomycin and linezolid.

5 2 Clinical breakpoints for cefoxitin have not been defined. Enterobacteriaceae species intrinsically resistant to this antibiotic produce a chromosomal inducible AmpC β-lactamase (AmpC) that is responsible for higher cefoxitin MIC values when compared with those from Enterobacteriaceae species lacking this β-lactamase production. 3 Also includes Citrobacter sedlakii, Citrobacter farmeri and Citrobacter rodentium. 4 Also includes Citrobacter braakii, Citrobacter murliniae, Citrobacter werkmanii and Citrobacter youngae. 5 Serratia marcescens is intrinsically resistant to tetracycline and doxycycline but not to minocycline or tigecycline.

6 Table 2. Intrinsic resistance in non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria. Non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria are also generally intrinsically resistant to benzylpenicillin, first and second generation cephalosporins, glycopeptides, fusidic acid, macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramins, rifampicin, daptomycin and linezolid Ampicillin Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid Ampicillin-sulbactam Ticarcillin Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid Piperacillin Piperacillin-tazobactam Cefazolin, Cefalothin Cefalexin, Cefadroxil Cefotaxime Ceftriaxone Ceftazidime Cefepime Aztreonam Ertapenem Imipenem Meropenem Ciprofloxacin Chloramphenicol Aminoglycosides Trimethoprim Fosfomycin Tetracyclines Tigecycline Polymyxin B/Colistin Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter pittii, Acinetobacter 2.1 nosocomialis and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus complex R R Note 1 R R R R R R R R 2 Note Achromobacter xylosoxydans R R R R R 2.3 Burkholderia cepacia complex 3 R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R 4 R R R 2.4 Elizabethkingia meningoseptica R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R 2.5 Ochrobactrum anthropi R R R R R R R R R R R R R R 2.6 Pseudomonas aeruginosa R R R R R R R R Note 5 R R R 2.7 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia R R R R R R R R R R R R R R 4 R 6 R R 7 R = resistant 1 Acinetobacter baumannii may appear to be susceptible to ampicillin-sulbactam due to activity of sulbactam with this species. 2 Acinetobacter is intrinsically resistant to tetracycline and doxycycline but not to minocycline and tigecycline. 3 Burkholderia cepacia complex includes different species. Some strains may appear susceptible to some β-lactams in vitro but they are clinically resistant and are shown as R in the table. 4 Burkholderia cepacia and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are intrinsically resistant to all aminoglycosides. Intrinsic resistance is attributed to poor permeability and putative efflux. In addition, most Stenotrophomonas maltophilia produce the AAC(6 )Iz enzyme. 5 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to kanamycin and neomycin due to low level APH(3 )-IIb activity. 6 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia typically is susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, but resistant to trimethoprim alone. 7 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is intrinsically resistant to tetracycline but not to doxycycline, minocycline and tigecycline.

7 Table 3. Intrinsic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria other than Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria other than Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria listed are also intrinsically resistant to glycopeptides, lincosamides, daptomycin and linezolid.

Gram-positive bacteria are also intrinsically resistant to aztreonam, temocillin, polymyxin B/colistin and nalidixic acid Fusidic acid Ceftazidime Cephalosporins (except ceftazidime) Aminoglycosides Macrolides Clindamycin Quinupristindalfopristin Vancomycin Teicoplanin Fosfomycin Novobiocin Sulfonamides 4.1 Staphylococcus saprophyticus R R R R 4.2 Staphylococcus cohnii, R R 4.3 Staphylococcus xylosus R R 4.4 Staphylococcus capitis R R 4.5 Other coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus 4.6 Streptococcus spp. R R R Enterococcus faecalis R R R R 1 R R R R 4.8 Enterococcus gallinarum, Enterococcus casseliflavus R R R R 1 R R R R R 4.9 Enterococcus faecium R R R R 1,2 R R 4.10 Corynebacterium spp. R 4.11 Listeria monocytogenes R R 4.12 Leuconostoc spp., Pediococcus spp. R R 4.13 Lactobacillus spp. (L. casei, L. casei var. rhamnosus) R R 4.14 Clostridium ramosum, Clostridium innocuum R R = resistant R 1 Low-level resistance (LLR) to aminoglycosides. Combinations of aminoglycosides with cell wall inhibitors (penicillins and glycopeptides) are synergistic and bactericidal against isolates that are susceptible to cell wall inhibitors and do not display high-level resistance to aminoglycosides. 2 In addition to LLR to aminoglycosides, Enterococcus faecium produces a chromosomal AAC(6 )-I enzyme that is responsible for the loss of synergism between aminoglycosides (except gentamicin, amikacin and streptomycin) and penicillins or glycopeptides.
