Abstract
Until 2014 the BSAC advocated that co-amoxiclav MICs should be determined using a 2:1 gravimetric ratio of amoxicillin and clavulanate. Subsequently, following adoption of EUCAST breakpoints, this advice changed to using clavulanate at a fixed concentration of 2 mg/L. The effect was to lower the breakpoint for Enterobacterales from systemic infections from 8 + 4 to 8 + 2 mg/L. We report on the consequences for apparent resistance prevalence among Escherichia coli as recorded in the BSAC Bacteraemia Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Programme.
