Antibiotic susceptibility was tested using the VITEK® II system with VITEK® II Gram Negative Susceptibility cards (bioMérieux, Marcy-l’Étoile, France) with Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute interpretive criteria M100–25. One Gram-negative (GN) identification card and another VITEK II AST-N322 card (for susceptibility testing of aerobic GN bacilli against specified antimicrobials) were placed in the neighboring slots, along with the transfer tube and the corresponding suspension tube [29]. The complete list of antibiotics used in susceptibility testing for A. faecalis, including piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ampicillin-sulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, gentamicin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin in our microbiology laboratory which was reference from clinical and laboratory standards institute (30th edition). Our microbiology laboratory susceptibility test report for A. faecalis included piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, gentamicin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, and ampicillin-sulbactam. If the susceptibility test showed resistant to all antibiotics, tigecycline susceptibility in A. faecalis would be done by the disc diffusion method.

We also searched PubMed and google scholar for topics related to Alcaligenes faecalis with no language restrictions.
