* Breakpoint: Concentration (mg/L) of an antimicrobial agent that defines whether a given bacterium (F. tularensis subsp. holarctica in this case) is susceptible or resistant to the compound; a [9]; b [10] (for Enterobacteriaceae); c [11,12] (for Enterobacteriaceae); d [11,12] (for meropenem); e [11,12]; f [13]; g [13] (for gentamicin); h [14].
