Breakpoints used: for ceftriaxone: S: ≤0.125 µg/mL, R: >0.125 µg/mL; for ciprofloxacin: S: ≤0.03 µg/mL, R: >0.06 µg/mL, RS: >0.03–0.06 µg/mL.

MIC50: lowest concentration of the antimicrobial at which 50% of the isolates are inhibited.

MIC90: lowest concentration of the antimicrobial at which 90% of the isolates are inhibited.

MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; R, resistant; RS, reduced susceptible; S, susceptible.
