Figure 1.
Zone diameter histogram with susceptibility classification of Escherichia coli according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute clinical breakpoints. Reconstructed ideal population of susceptible strains shown as a line graph of normalized resistance interpretation (NRI) with a mean of 27.6 for ceftiofur and 31.7 for ceftriaxone. The 2.5 deviation limit below the NRI mean is marked with a vertical arrow (23 for ceftiofur and 26.5 for ceftriaxone) and the isolates below this limit can be considered nonsusceptible for comparative purposes.
