21. In Vitro Activities of Broad-Spectrum Cephalosporins against Nonmeningeal Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae: MIC Interpretation Using NCCLS M100-S12 Recommendations
Publication of the NCCLS M100-S12 document in January 2002 introduced ceftriaxone and cefotaxime MIC interpretative breakpoints of ≤1 μg/ml (susceptible), 2 μg/ml (intermediate), and ≥4 μg/ml (resistant) for nonmeningeal isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae. To estimate the effect of these breakpoint changes on clinical laboratory susceptibility testi
