Anaerococcus
Background
Microbiology
- Genus of Gram-positive anaerobic cocci
- Usually in pairs, tetrads, short chains, or clumps
- Species include:
Management
- Anaerococcus prevotii is generally susceptible to penicillins, but may be resistant to tetracyclines, erythromycin, and clindamycin
- Anaerococcus species are usually susceptible to penicillin, essentially universally susceptible to amoxicillin, piperacillin-tazobactam and imipenem, vancomycin, linezolid, and metronidazole, but may be resistant to cefotaxime, moxifloxacin, clindamycin123
