Susceptibility of Aerococcus urinae and Aerococcus sanguinicola to Standard Antibiotics and to Nitroxoline.

ABSTRACT: Aerococcus urinae and Aerococcus sanguinicola have been increasingly recognized as causative agents of urinary tract infection (UTI) during the last decade. Nitroxoline achieves high urinary concentrations after oral administration and is recommended in uncomplicated UTI in Germany, but its activity against Aerococcus spp. is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro susceptibility of clinical Aerococcus species isolates to standard antibiotics and to nitroxoline. Between December 2016 and June 2018, 166 A. urinae and 18 A. sanguinicola isolates were recovered from urine specimens sent to the microbiology laboratory of the University Hospital of Cologne, Germany. Susceptibility to standard antimicrobials was analyzed by disk diffusion (DD)
