Method

VITEK 2 Compact (microdilution)

~ 3500 isolations and ~ 500 MIC /year

Interpretation independent from Vitek Software according to clinical breakpoints of EUCAST , whenever possible !!

No results for critically important antibiotics (i. e. Vancomycin, Imipenem, Linezolid, Quinupristin/Dalfopristin)

S. uberis:

No clinical breakpoints and ECOFFs according to EUCAST ! Rare clinical breakpoints according to CLSI !

Activities of the Centre for Zoonoses, Animal Bacterial Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance in Switzerland

Outlook

16/04/2012 16

Creating representative MIC data for relevant veterinarian pathogens (i. e. Arcanobacterium pyogenes, L. garviae, B. bronchiseptica)

Consolidation of Resistance data from human and veterinary medicine

Submission of MIC data to EUCAST for relevant veterinarian pathogens (i.e. Streptococcus uberis, S. pseudintermedius)

Improvement of Monitoring (i. e. ESBL, bulk milk)

Cooperation with the EU-RLs
