Numbers show percentages of isolates classified as resistant based on their zone of inhibition. Categorical interpretation is based on breakpoints derived as described in Materials and Methods. The number of isolates tested for each sample type is shown in Table 1. AMC, amoxicillin/clavulanate, AM, ampicillin; CTX, cefotaxime; CF, cephalothin; C, chloramphenicol; CIP, ciprofloxacin; ENO, enrofloxacin; GM, gentamicin; S, streptomycin; G, sulfisoxazole; TE, tetracycline; TMP, trimethoprim.
