Table 3.

Antimicrobial susceptibilities of the 61 CPE isolates (2011–2016, Reunion Island, France). a Two isolates harboured two carbapenemase-encoding genes: one K. pneumoniae isolate harboured blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-181, and one E. coli isolate harboured blaNDM-1 and blaVIM-2. b The clinical breakpoints for imipenem (0.125–4) were used to determine the susceptibility of the isolate of P. mirabilis. c Because of the intrinsic resistance of the P. mirabilis species to tigecycline, one isolate of P. mirabilis harbouring blaNDM-1 was excluded for the calculation of non-susceptibility rate of tigecycline. The PK/PD clinical breakpoints for tigecycline (EUCAST 2019; 0.5–0.5) were used to determine the susceptibility of other isolates than E. coli. d Because of the intrinsic resistance of the S. marcescens and P. mirabilis species to colistin, one isolate of P.mirabilis harbouring blaNDM-1 and 3 isolates of S.marcescens harbored blaIMP-10 were excluded for the calculation of non-susceptibility rate of colistin (N.D.: not determined)
