Table 3. Proportion of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to individual antibiotics, with comparison to the likelihood of these isolates also being resistant to fosfomycin.
| Enterobacteriaceae n=224 | Number of resistant isolates as per disk diffusion testing36 | Expressed as a % of isolates | Number of isolates also resistant to fosfomycin (as per MIC)36 | % Resistant to both antibiotics | Difference in proportions (P-value) |
