• To retain the letters S, I och R.

• To emphasize the relationship between the concentration of

             t h
  the antimicrobial agent at the site of the infection AND the

    C      u
  breakpoints for categorisation (S, I and R).

  uncertain laboratory results, irrespective of origin.

• Unless the microorganism is sufficiently exposed to the
  antimicrobial at the site of infection, there will be no

       I D or
  inhibitory or killing effect.

     M
• The degree of exposure is determined by the agent and its

    C        t h
  pharmacokinetics in the patient, the individual dose, the

           u
  frequency of dosing and the mode of administration.

• For some agents there is only one dose and one mode of
  administration – for others there are many options.

   Susceptibility categories S, I and R (2002 – 2018)
                                                                      ib r

Definitions of S and R were straightforward:

          D or
S = a micro-organism is defined as susceptible by a level of antimicrobial activity associated

        I
with a high likelihood of therapeutic success.

I = a microorganism is defined as intermediate by a level of antimicrobial agent activity

      M
associated with uncertain therapeutic effect. It implies that an infection due to the isolate

                h
may be appropriately treated in body sites where the drugs are physiologically

     C        t
concentrated or when a high dosage of drug can be used; it also indicates a buffer zone

            u
that should prevent small, uncontrolled, technical factors from causing major

   S
discrepancies in interpretations.

 E        a
R = a micro-organism is defined as resistant by a level of antimicrobial activity associated
with a high likelihood of therapeutic failure.

S - Susceptible, standard dosing regimen: A microorganism is categorised as
Susceptible, standard dosing regimen, when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic
success using a standard dosing regimen of the agent.

 I – Susceptible, increased exposure: A microorganism is categorised as Susceptible,

Increased exposure* when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success because

                  h
exposure to the agent is increased by adjusting the dosing regimen or by its

concentration at the site of infection.

     S      a u
 R - Resistant: A microorganism is categorised as Resistant when there is a high

likelihood of therapeutic failure even when there is increased exposure.
* Exposure is a function of how the mode of administration, dose, dosing interval, infusion time, as well as distribution and excretion of the antimicrobial
agent will influence the infecting organism at the site of infection.
