Diagnostic guidelines for clinicians and microbiologists in developed countries and resource-limited settings. 1) The antimicrobial drug–susceptibility pattern can be useful for distinguishing Burkholderia pseudomallei (usually resistant to aminoglycosides and colistin or polymyxin but susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) from other pathogenic species. However, isolates can occasionally be susceptible to aminoglycosides; susceptibility may vary by region (40). If disk diffusion is used, zone diameter interpretation may need to be modified from break points recommended for Enterobacteriaceae by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (73). 2) Not currently commercially available.
