Comparison of MICs of three antibiotics with different modes of action
| Antibiotic | Strain group | Median MIC (μg/mL) | Wilcoxon rank sum test |
|
| Z | Prob>|Z| | |||
| Ciprofloxacin | LESA | 4 | 1.97 | 0.049 |
| (Quinolone) | Non-LESA | 2 | ||
| Ceftazidime | LESA | 32 | 2.14 | 0.033 |
| (Beta-lactam) | Non-LESA | 12 | ||
| Gentamicin | LESA | 128 | 3.28 | 0.001 |
| (Aminoglycoside) | Non-LESA | 8 | ||
LESA isolates (n = 10) were significantly more resistant than non-LESA isolates (n = 40) to all three antibiotics. MICS, minimum inhibitory concentrations.
