Background
- Gram-negative bacillus that is closely related to Escherichia coli
- Automated methods frequently misidentify as Escherichia coli, so needs phenotypic testing with serology
- Needs azithromycin susceptibility to be requested specifically, if it is resistant to others
- However, there are no standardized breakpoints, so you have to use the epidemiologic cutoff values
