a

No statistically significant differences in MIC distribution were present for any agent based on infection type, acquisition setting, or location using the Mann-Whitney U test. Susceptibility interpretations of aztreonam-based regimens were based on CLSI aztreonam interpretive criteria against P. aeruginosa (34).

b

Susceptibility interpretation based on CLSI ceftazidime interpretative criteria against S. maltophilia (34).

c

Reflects the MIC of the trimethoprim component only.
