Abbreviations: MIC90 = minimum medium concentration inhibiting the growth of 90% of isolates; MDR = multidrug-resistant (ie, resistant to ≥3 of penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, levofloxacin, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole); VS = vancomycin-susceptible; VR = vancomycin-resistant.

Range of pooled MIC90 values are shown, where available. Studies were only pooled when each study met all of the following criteria: study used National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) methodology, a minimum of 10 isolates were tested for each organism-of-interest, and the test inoculum ranged from 104–106 CFU per spot.
