The BD PhoenixTM Automated Microbiology System is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of most Gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria isolates from pure culture for Enterobacteriaceae and Non-Enterobacteriaceae and most Gram-positive bacteria isolates from pure culture belonging to the genera Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Streptococcus.

This premarket notification is for ampicillin-sulbactam at concentrations of 1/0.5-32/16 gg/mL to Gram-negative ID/AST or AST only Phoenix panels with the removal of the limitations for Acinetobacter species and Proteus mirabilis. Ampicillin-sulbactam has been shown to be active in vitro against most strains of microorganisms listed below, as described in the FDA-approved package insert for this antimicrobial agent.

Active In Vitro and in Clinical Infections Against:

Beta-lactamase producing strains of: Beta-lactamase producing strains of:

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus Klebsiella spp. (including K. pneumoniae)

Enterobacterspp. Proteus mirabilis

Escherichiacoli

Active In Vitro Against:

Escherichiacoli (Beta-lactamase and non-beta-lactamase producing) Providenciarettgeri

Kiebsiella species (all know strains are beta-lactamase producing) Providenciastuartii

Morganella morganii

Proteus mirabilis(Beta-lactamase and non-beta-lactamase producing)

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
