17 A A. The norfloxacin disk diffusi<strong>on</strong> test can be used to screen for fluoroquinol<strong>on</strong>e resistance. Isolates categorised as susceptible can<br />

be reported susceptible to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and ofloxacin. Isolates categorised as resistant should be tested<br />

for susceptibility to individual agents.<br />

Amikacin<br />

1. Aminoglycoside breakpoints are based <strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>ce-daily administrati<strong>on</strong> of high aminoglycoside dosages. Most often<br />

aminoglycosides are given in combinati<strong>on</strong> with beta-lactam agents.<br />

2 S. aureus 8 16 30 18 16 2. Resistance to amikacin is most reliably determined by testing with kanamycin (z<strong>on</strong>e diameter breakpoints under development).<br />
