Note: Antibiotics including florfenicol, ceftiofur and cefquinome presented a unimodal distribution therefore ECOFF values were not set and NWT cluster were not considered. Wild-type cluster was not considered in the case of enrofloxacin.
AMC: Amoxicillin/Clavulanate. TMPS: Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole. NA: Not applicable (ECOFF were unable to be defined in this sample set).
*Tentative cut-off for the most susceptible cluster.
