ND, not determined.

a

MICs were determined in CAMHB, CAMHB adjusted to 150 mM NaCl (N) or 1.25 mM CaCl2 (C), CAMHB supplemented with 10% human serum (S) and CAMHB supplemented with 10% human serum and adjusted to 150 mM NaCl (S + N). Fold changes in MIC values were calculated with respect to the MIC values obtained in CAMHB.

b

MIC values were determined for the colistin/meropenem-susceptible (S) strains E. coli ATCC 25922, K. pneumoniae DSM 30104, A. baumannii ATCC 19606, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, the meropenem-resistant (MEMR) strains E. coli RKI 131/03, K. pneumoniae RKI 93/10, A. baumannii RKI 19/09, P. aeruginosa RKI 93/12 and the colistin-resistant (CSTR) strains E. coli RKI 6A-6 and K. pneumoniae RKI 19/16.
