Results from the Survey of Antibiotic Resistance (SOAR) 2016-18 in Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and the Philippines: data based on CLSI, EUCAST (dose-specific) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints.

Objectives: To determine antibiotic susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae isolates collected from community-acquired respiratory tract infections (CA-RTIs) in 2016-18 in four Asian countries.

Methods: MICs were determined by CLSI broth microdilution and susceptibility was assessed using CLSI, EUCAST (dose-specific) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints.

Results: In total, 260 S.

Antimicrobial resistant isolated from non-diarrheal child stool sample in Battambang, Cambodia.

() is associated with human gastroenteritis; however, was isolated and confirmed by phenotypic and genotypic identification from a non-diarrheal child stool sample in Cambodia. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing demonstrated that this isolate had a high minimal inhibitory concentration against macrolides and quinolones, which are first-line antibiotic treatment choices for infections. Consequently, macrolides and quinolones were likewise expected to be ineffective against -like organisms such as .
