bCategorical discrimination between resistant (R) and susceptible (S).
cNA, not available. EUCAST indicates that there is not yet available evidence that the species in question is a good target for therapy with the drug.
d“–” indicates that susceptibility testing is not recommended as the species is a poor target for therapy with the drug.
ECOFF, epidemiological cut-off; CBP, clinical breakpoint.
