Antimicrobial | No. on-scalea | No. (%) of isolates for which the MBC was:
|
No. off-scalea | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Equal to the MIC | Twice the MIC | Four times the MIC | Eight times the MIC | |||
MSI-78 | 143 | 91 (63.6) | 42 (29.4) | 4 (2.8) | 6 (4.2) | 18 |
Ofloxacin | 155 | 76 (49.0) | 64 (41.3) | 9 (5.8) | 6 (3.9) | 6 |
