aClass D enzymes were not detected in any of the isolates collected

bIncludes SMART 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2016 data. Approximately 100 isolates possessed more than one acquired β-lactamase. For purposes of this table, each of these isolates was only counted once; the specific category each isolate was assigned to was based on the following algorithm: MBL > KPC > GES > other ESBL

cImipenem minimum inhibitory concentration in the presence of 4 μg/mL of relebactam

dIsolates that only encoded AmpC, and not any of the other studied β-lactamases. All 472 isolates contained a gene for chromosomal PDC and 2 isolates also that contained a gene for a plasmid-borne AmpC (ie, FOX-14 and DHA-1); both of these isolates had an imipenem/relebactam MIC of 8 μg/mL
