Abbreviations: C/T, ceftolozane/tazobactam; DTR, difficult-to-treat resistance; ICU, intensive care unit; IMI/REL, imipenem/relebactam; MDR, multidrug-resistant; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; NS, nonsusceptible (intermediate or resistant MICs).

aStatistically significant difference between isolates from ICUs and non-ICU wards (P < .05).

bOne isolate tested with an IMI/REL MIC of 4 µg/mL (intermediate) and an IMI MIC of 2 µg/mL (susceptible).
