a Criteria as published by CLSI (2021) and EUCAST (2021). b For infections originating from the urinary tract. For systemic infections, aminoglycosides must be used in combination with other active therapy. c These breakpoints for oral administration are relevant for uncomplicated urinary tract infections only. d The cefoperazone breakpoints were applied following US FDA criteria. e Using meningitis breakpoints. f Using non-meningitis breakpoints. g Intermediate is interpreted as susceptible-dose dependent. h Using oral breakpoints. i Using parenteral breakpoints. j Using oral, uncomplicated urinary tract infection only breakpoints. k US FDA breakpoints were applied. Organisms included: Klebsiella pneumoniae (6901). Report generated using MVP (https://sentry-mvp.jmilabs.com, assessed on 4 June 2021), a product of JMI Laboratories, on 5 June 2021 11:09:47 GMT/UTC.
