Article Synopsis
- - The French Society of Microbiology changed the temocillin susceptibility breakpoint from 20 mm to 17 mm, aligning with EU guidelines, prompting an evaluation of its impact on Enterobacterales categorization.
- - A study of 36,416 isolates showed that the new 17 mm breakpoint significantly decreased the resistance rate to temocillin from 11.3% to 4.7%, indicating broader susceptibility among tested bacteria.
- - The findings suggest that the updated breakpoint improves treatment options, particularly for resistant strains like Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE), while measurement biases may arise due to temocillin's stability against resistance.
