In this study ALOs and related taxons were tested for susceptibility by agar diffusion and agar dilution methods to 15 selected antimicrobial agents for diagnostic and taxonomic considerations. ALOs were susceptible to a wide range of antimicrobials including β-lactams, but resistant to aminoglycosides, sulphonamides, trimethoprim and nalidixic acid. By using tablets containing vancomycin, furazolidone and bacitracin, it was possible to separate ALOs from related taxons. Clustering based on antibiotic susceptibilities showed that there is little similarity between Aerococcus viridans and ALOs. © 1996 by the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Brief reports nationallicence Christensen Jens Jørgen Department of Clinical Microbiology at Herlev Country Hospital A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut Korner Bent Bispebjerg Hospital A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut Casals José Bou Microbiology Department A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut Pringler Nina Microbiology Department A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 38/2(1996-08), 253-258 0305-7453 38:2<253 1996 38 jac https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/38.2.253 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 brief-communication jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/38.2.253 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Christensen Jens Jørgen Department of Clinical Microbiology at Herlev Country Hospital A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Korner Bent Bispebjerg Hospital A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Casals José Bou Microbiology Department A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Pringler Nina Microbiology Department A/S Rosco, Taastrup, Denmark aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 38/2(1996-08), 253-258 0305-7453 38:2<253 1996 38 jac Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
