a
Total number of significant isolates for that instrument.
b
Same result, number of organisms that were the same in replicate cultures with ≥104 CFU/ml for the 1-μl inoculum or ≥103 CFU/ml for the 10-μl inoculum.
c
Same CFU range, the number of organisms (indicated in parentheses) with similar results in both replicates (103 to 104 CFU/ml, 104 or 105 CFU/ml, or >105 CFU/ml).
