a

Categorical interpretation was determined according to CLSI document M100-S29 when available (14). Imipenem-relebactam, plazomicin, eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline categorical interpretation was determined by FDA interpretive criteria (15).

b

S, susceptible.

c

I, intermediate.

d

R, resistant.

e

Cefepime does not have an intermediate category but has a susceptible-dose-dependent category (14).

f

NA, not applicable (no breakpoint available for this category or drug).

g

Categorical interpretation applies only to organisms from urine (14).

h

Reported for isolates originating from urine cultures.
