Using minimum inhibitory concentrations from an accompanying antibiotic panel or agar dilution supplemented with glucose 6-phosphate for fosfomycin, blood or urine isolates were identified to assess patient and microbiologic outcome. The following definitions were used for this assessment—ESBL: ≥2 µg/mL MIC for aztreonam, ceftazidime, or ceftriaxone; CRE: ≥4 µg/mL imipenem or meropenem; Amino-R: gentamicin ≥8 µg/mL or amikacin ≥32 µg/mL; MDR: nonsusceptibility ≥3 classes, using definitions above plus levofloxacin ≥4 µg/mL and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole ≥32 g/mL. Patients could have more than 1 isolate from blood and/or urine sources, and all organisms are presented for completeness. Patients with multiple organisms were counted only once per resistance grouping. If the same species was identified from a different source, the isolate was counted once for microbiological outcome.

Abbreviations: CRE, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae; ESBL, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase; MDR, multidrug-resistant; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; ZTI-01, fosfomycin for injection.
