Abbreviations: MIC50: concentration of antimicrobial required to inhibit 50% of isolates. MIC90: concentration of antimicrobial required to inhibit 90% of isolates. CPE: carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales; ESBL: Enterobacterales with extended spectrum β-lactamase; AmpC: Enterobacterales with acquired AmpC β-lactamase.
