a
Both strain were ST2, harbored Tn2006, contained the β-lactamases OXA-23 and OXA-51, and carried the associated resistance genes aac(6′)-Ib and aac(3′)-I.
b
CTX, cefotaxime; CAZ, ceftazidime; FEP, cefepime; IMP, imipenem; MEM, meropenem; DOR, doripenem; AMK, amikacin; GEN, gentamicin; KAN, kanamycin; NET, netilmycin; OFX, ofloxacin; CIP, ciprofloxacin; SXT, co-trimoxazole.
