Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of <i>Dermabacter hominis</i>

<i>Dermabacter hominis</i> can cause infections in humans (e.g., skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, abscesses, peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis, and bacteremia). Currently, only limited data are available regarding the resistance rates of this specific pathogen. Data for the easy accessible disk diffusion method are missing. We were able to provide additional data on resistance rates of clinical <i>D. hominis</i> isolates to common antimicrobial agents and correlate these with disk diffusion diameters to derive breakpoints to further improve the antimicrobial susceptibility testing for this specific pathogen. In addition to that, we created a current overview of resistance rates from the existing literature. Our data provide deeper insight into resistance rates and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of this specific pathogen.
