a

Susceptibility criteria of the CLSI (M100-S18 [3]) were used where available. For dalbavancin, a proposed susceptible breakpoint of ≤0.25 μg/ml for all species was applied for comparisons only with vancomycin.

b

—, no resistant breakpoint criteria have been recommended.

c

HL, high-level resistance.
