a

Data were compiled from studies performed on old strains (before 2000) (26, 41, 47, 62, 7275) and more recent strains (2000 to 2016) (29, 32, 33, 7682). Several methods were used to determine these MIC values.

b

Antimicrobial family and antibiotics belonging to this family.

c

For enrofloxacin, one study (29) compared isolates from 1997 to 2003 and from 2005 to 2006; results obtained for isolates from 1997 to 2003 are classified as old strains in this table.

d

ND, no data found.
