Legend. MDR *: Multi-drug resistant, that means resistance to at least three class of drug (all cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides); XDR **: Extensively-drug resistant that means non-susceptible to ≥1 agent in all but ≤2 categories or MDR + resistance to carbapenems; PDR *** = Pan-drug resistant that means strains resistant to all antimicrobial agents or XDR + resistance to polymyxins; papers reporting strains with resistance to less than 3 different antimicrobial classes are those indicated by the symbol “-” in the MDR, XDR, and PDR columns.
