Notes: MICs were measured in μg/mL. Susceptibility rates for ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, and cefepime were determined by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints (M100). Susceptibility breakpoints for ceftazidime were applied to ceftazidime–avibactam.

Abbreviations: %S, percent of isolates susceptible to antimicrobial agents; ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; KPC, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; MIC50, MIC that inhibits 50% of isolates; MIC90, MIC that inhibits 90% of isolates; N/A, not available.
