Evidence of teicoplanin tolerance at each MIC

MIC (μg/ml)	No. of isolatesa		% Tolerant at MIC

^aTolerance is defined as an MBC-to-MIC ratio of ≥32 or MBC-to-MIC ratio of ≥16 and an MBC of ≥32 μg/ml. Boldface data are for isolates that are intermediate or resistant according to their MICs, in accordance with CLSI guidelines.
