Abbreviations: AmpC, AmpC-type-beta-lactamase; ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; ESC-R, extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant; ESC-S, extended-spectrum cephalosporin-susceptible; TMP/SMX, trimethoprim/sufamethoxazole.

a P values generated via χ2 test; Fisher exact test was used when expected frequencies were <5.

bOne of these isolates had both a CTX-M-15 gene identified as well as a KPC-3 carbapenemase gene, and was resistant to meropenem.

cTotal exceeds 100% as isolates could have >1 determinant identified.

*P value <.05.
