Lefamulin Oral and Injection Products

FDA Identified Interpretive Criteria

	Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (mcg/mL)			Disk Diffusion (zone diameter in mm)
Pathogen	S	I	R	S	I	R
Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates)	M-100 standard is recognized
*Streptococcus pneumoniae*	M-100 standard is recognized
*Haemophilus influenzae*	M-100 standard is recognized

S = Susceptible; I = Intermediate; R = Resistant

For disk diffusion, use paper disks impregnated with 20 mcg lefamulin.

Note: The current absence of resistant isolates precludes defining any results other than "Susceptible". Isolates yielding MIC results other than “Susceptible” should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.
