b

Breakpoints used for this analysis were prior to the 28 September 2020 update. FDA breakpoints for the Enterobacterales (listed as Enterobacteriaceae on the FDA website) are specific for E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, and E. cloacae complex. These breakpoints were used to interpret results for all Enterobacterales in this study.

Non-species-specific pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) breakpoints.
