a

Susceptibility was defined by CLSI document M100 (21). In the absence of CLSI breakpoints, U.S. FDA breakpoints were applied (30, 31).

b

NA, not applicable. Susceptibility has not been defined for LYS228.

c

Strains tested included C. freundii (n = 3), E. aerogenes (n = 1), E. cloacae (n = 11), E. hormaechei (n = 1), E. coli (n = 10), K. pneumoniae (n = 47), P. mirabilis (n = 1), and S. marcescens (n = 3).

d

Strains tested included C. freundii (n = 21) and C. koseri (n = 1).

e

Strains tested included E. aerogenes (n = 4), E. cloacae (n = 35), and E. hormaechei (n = 1).
