IMI imipenem, IMI/REL imipenem/relebactam, MIC minimum inhibitory concentration, ND not determined

aIncludes SMART surveillance data through October 2018

bImipenem combined with 4 μg/mL of relebactam

cThis MIC value was not tested

dThis value is for ≥0.5 μg/mL, since MIC values < 0.5 μg/mL were not tested
