Distribution of the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) combination among Gram-positive organisms by bacterial species and tested antimicrobial categories.
| AMR Pattern 1 | CoNS | S. aureus | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N = 366 | (%) | N = 235 | (%) | N = 601 | (%) | |
| Resistance to two antimicrobial categories | ||||||
| Penicillins + Aminoglycosides | 120 | (68.6) | 67 | (45.9) | 187 | (31.1) |
| Penicillins + Fluoroquinolones | 99 | (27) | 55 | (23.4) | 154 | (25.6) |
| Aminoglycosides + Fluoroquinolones | 80 | (21.9) | 32 | (13.6) | 112 | (18.6) |
| Resistance to three antimicrobial categories | ||||||
| Penicillins + Aminoglycosides + Fluoroquinolones | 71 | (19.4) | 29 | (12.3) | 100 | (16.6) |
| Penicillins + Aminoglycosides + Glycopeptides | 30 | (8.2) | 17 | (7.2) | 47 | (7.8) |
| Penicillins + Fluoroquinolones + Glycopeptides | 27 | (7.4) | 19 | (8.1) | 46 | (7.6) |
| Resistance to four antimicrobial categories | ||||||
| Penicillins + Aminoglycosides + Fluoroquinolones + Glycopeptides | 24 | (6.6) | 15 | (6.4) | 39 | (6.5) |
1 Resistance was defined as non-susceptibility to ≥ 1 agent in the considered antimicrobial categories.
