Methods: Global clinical isolates were collected from 2013-15. MICs for ERV and comparators were determined by CLSI broth microdilution. Susceptibility was determined with CLSI 2015 breakpoints where available. MDR was defined as resistant to at least 1 agent in 3 or more antimicrobial categories. ESC-R was defined as resistant to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, or cefepime. CR was defined as resistant to imipenem or meropenem.
Results: The ERV MIC50/90 for all ENT (n=6878) was 0.25/2 mg/L, and for MDR-ENT (N=1076) was 0.5/2 mg/L. The ERV MIC50/90s for ESC-R-ENT and CR-ENT were 0.5/2 and 1/2 mg/L, respectively. ERV MIC90for the organisms did not vary more than one dilution over the 3-year time range.

Conclusion: ERV shows activity against ENT, AB, and SM, including resistant phenotypes. Potency of ERV against ENT was up to 2-fold greater than TGC, including MDR and ESC-R, and up to 4-fold greater for CR. Potency of ERV against AB and SM was 2-fold greater than TGC.
