Notes: The data are expressed as n (%). *MIC breakpoint (mg/L). MIC breakpoint (mg/L) of colistin to Enterobacterales for sensitivity is ≤2; resistance is >2 according to European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Breakpoint tables for interpretation of MICs and zone diameters Version 7.1, valid from 2017-03-10.

Abbreviations: MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; IAI, intra-abdominal infection; UTI, urinary tract infection; RTI respiratory tract infection; CS, carbapenem sensitive; CR, carbapenem-resistant.
