The MICs of 17 antimicrobial agents were assessed by the NCCLS broth microdilution method as described elsewhere (6). AMP, ampicillin; CHL, chloramphenicol; FFN, florfenicol; GEN, gentamicin; KAN, kanamycin; NEO, neomycin; STR, streptomycin; SPT, spectinomycin; SUL, sulfamethoxazole; TET, tetracycline; TMP, trimethoprim; SXT, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
