a

The most common pathogens (those with at least 15 unique baseline isolates) are shown. CI, confidence interval; IMI, imipenem-cilastatin; n/m, number of subjects with pathogen and favorable clinical response/number of subjects with pathogen and clinical response assessment. Subjects with an indeterminate or missing response are excluded from the analysis.

b

The 95% confidence intervals are based on the unconditional asymptotic Miettinen and Nurminen method without stratification.
