a

For daptomycin and linezolid, these isolates are nonsusceptible.

b

Resistant isolates include those with inducible clindamycin resistance: 17.3% (n = 342) of all isolates, 25.8% (n = 274) of USA100 isolates, and 2.7% (n = 17) of USA300 isolates.

c

CLSI breakpoints have not been established for mupirocin.
