All Salmonella isolates tested were susceptible to meropenem. N: number of isolates tested; % Res: percentage of microbiologically resistant isolates; –: no information available; MSs: Member States.

a

A number of colistin‐resistant isolates are undergoing testing for the presence of mcr‐1 gene. The reported occurrence of colistin resistance is unlikely to equate to the occurrence of mcr‐1. ECOFF applied 2 mg/L.

b

ECOFF applied 1 mg/L.
