a

MICs of penicillin G are given in units per milliliter.

b

MICs of ampicillin-subactam are based on ampicillin concentrations.

c

MICs of imipenem-cilastatin are based on imipenem concentrations.

d

Cumulative susceptibility results across all serovars are expressed as MIC90, the concentration at which 90% of the Leptospira isolates are inhibited.
