TABLE 2.

MIC distribution for nine antimicrobial agents^a

^aB. megaterium (n = 29), B. velezensis (n = 26), B. amyloliquefaciens (n = 6), B. paralicheniformis (n = 28), and B. licheniformis (n = 35) strains were tested by use of the modified CLSI method. The vertical solid lines indicate the EFSA ECOFF for the genus Bacillus. One strain could not be identified to the species level as either B. licheniformis or B. paralicheniformis but is listed as B. licheniformis. For ampicillin, the EFSA does not define an ECOFF and no other interpretation criteria exist.
