All measurements were repeated three or more times. MIC results are presented as median and range of results in parenthesis. E, Etest; MB, microbroth dilution; PEN, penicillin; GEN, gentamicin; FICI, fractional inhibitory concentration index; GBS-PJI, group B Streptococcus isolated from a periprosthetic joint infection; GBS-IE, group B Streptococcus isolated from infective endocarditis; GBS-Col, group B Streptococcus isolated from colonized women; GBS-HLGR, group B Streptococcus displaying high level gentamicin resistance.
