Prior studies of the susceptibility of Abiotrophia spp. have shown them to be highly susceptible to most antimicrobial agents. With the increasing penicillin resistance of viridans streptococci, it seemed timely to reexamine the susceptibility of Abiotrophia. A total of 27 A. adjacens and 13 A. defectiva isolates were tested in pyridoxal supplemented Mueller-Hinton broth with lysed horse blood. Applying the NCCLS interpretative criteria appropriate to viridans streptococci, the susceptibilities of A. adjacens and A. defectiva were, respectively: penicillin (
