Antimicrobial MIC break points (S,I,R): AMK(16,32,64); CPF(1,2,4); LVF(1,2,4); MXF(1,2,4); GAF(1,2,4) (μg/mL) (S, I, R: susceptible, intermediate susceptible and resistant)

*MIC(μg/mL): minimum inhibitory concentration

^※%SI: percentage of susceptible or intermediate susceptible to antibiotics

^#MIC₉₀: MIC required to inhibit the growth of 90% of the organism
