AMK, amikacin; AMP, ampicillin; CIP, ciprofloxacin; GEN, gentamicin; KZ, cefazolin; NA, nalidixic acid; PRL, piperacillin; SAM, ampicillin-sulbactam; STR, streptomycin; SXT, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; TE, tetracycline; TMP, trimethoprim. The antimicrobial classes and agents shown are those for which resistance was significantly clonally distributed. Additional studied agents, for which resistance was not significantly clonally distributed, included (range of resistance prevalence by clonal subset) piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP) (0% to 22%), ceftriaxone (CRO) (0% to 18%), ceftazidime (CAZ) (0% to 6%), ertapenem (ETP) (0% to 1%), imipenem (IMP) (0% to 3%), aztreonam (ATM) (0% to 10%), nitrofurantoin (NF) (0% to 12%), and chloramphenicol (C) (0% to 13%).
A larger set of ST1193-H64 isolates was tested against only AMP, CAZ, CRO, ETP, GEN, IMP, KZ, NF, SAM, and SXT.
A smaller set of ST1193-H64 isolates was also tested against AMK, ATM, C, NA, PRL, STR, TE, TMP, and TZP.
Two-group P values (by Fisher’s exact test, two-tailed) and 3-group P values (by 3-group Pearson χ2) are shown in boldface; P < 0.05.
P < 0.05 (Fisher’s exact test, two-tailed) for comparisons of each pulsotype versus all other ST1193 isolates.
P ≤ 0.01 (Fisher’s exact test, two-tailed) for comparisons of each pulsotype versus all other ST1193 isolates.
P ≤ 0.001 (Fisher’s exact test, two-tailed) for comparisons of each pulsotype versus all other ST1193 isolates.
