a

Susceptibility testing was performed using Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) documents M38-P, M38-A, or M38-A2, except as noted.

b

Susceptibility testing method was not specified.

c

Estimated MIC50 or MIC90 using raw data provided in the article.

d

Used natamycin eye drop (Sun Pharmaceutical Ind., Ltd, Mumbai, India) for susceptibility testing instead of standard natamycin pharmaceutical-grade powder.
