Abbreviations: CLSI, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute; I, intermediate; R, resistant; S, susceptible; SDD, susceptible, dose-dependent; WT, wild type.

Classification according to CLSI clinical breakpoints (CBP). In the absence of established CBP, CLSI epidemiological cutoff values (ECV) were used for discrimination between WT* and non-WT** isolates (CLSI document M59-Ed3).

aIsolates were not tested for the specific drug.
