N: number of isolates tested; % Res: percentage of microbiologically resistant isolates (either interpreted as non‐wild type by ECOFFs or clinically non‐susceptible by combining resistant and intermediate categories); –: no data reported; NA: not applicable – if less than 10 isolates were tested, the percentage of resistance was not calculated; MS: Member State.

a

Data interpreted with clinical breakpoints.

b

Countries doing disk diffusion have replaced ciprofloxacin with pefloxacin when screening for fluoroquinolone resistance, as recommended by EUCAST.

c

Combined data on the class of sulfonamides and the substance sulfamethoxazole within this group.
