This contingency table reports the association between the possession of a known KAN-R marker in the eis promoter and collection from Moldova, stratified by KAN DST. Two Moldovan isolates had low sequencing coverage in the eis promoter and were thus excluded from this contingency table and all KAN analyses. The numbers of isolates with either of the SLID-R markers rrs:A1401G and rrs:G1484T are included in parentheses.
