Susceptibilities reported as total number of susceptible isolates/total number of tested isolates. The default AST in our laboratory includes penicillin, ceftriaxone, meropenem, and vancomycin. Additional antibiotic testing was requested for 7 isolates and included doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, clindamycin, linezolid, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, rifampin, and gentamicin. Additionally, susceptibilities to agents without interpretative guidelines such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, daptomycin, tigecycline, and minocycline were occasionally ordered (refer to Supplementary Table 2 for MICs).
