Abstract

MIC and disk diffusion quality control (QC) ranges were established for two new pleuromutilin antimicrobials (BC-3205 and BC-3781) in an eight-laboratory study performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M23-A3 guidelines. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and 25923, Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619, and Haemophilus influenzae ATCC 4927 strains were evaluated. The proposed QC ranges would aid clinical laboratories in testing these compounds following their development for treatment of respiratory and cutaneous infections.
