Note:

Breakpoints of MIC cutoff values for each antibiotic. MTZ (metronidazole): sensitive (S): 8 μg/ml; intermediately resistant (I) 16 μg/ml; resistant (R) 32 μg/ml. E (erythromycin): S: ≤ 0.25 μg/ml; I: 0.5 μg/ml; R ≥ 1 μg/ml. MEM (meropenem): S: 4 μg/ml; I: 8 μg/ml; R: 16 μg/ml. AMC (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid): S: 4/2 μg/ml; I: 8/4 μg/ml; R: 16/8 μg/ml. CIP (ciprofloxacin): S: 2 μg/ml; I: 4 μg/ml; R: 8 μg/ml. IPM (imipenem): S: 4 μg/ml; I: 8 μg/ml; R: 16 μg/ml. TE (tetracycline): S: 4 μg/ml; I: 8 μg/ml; R: 16 μg/ml. CN (gentamicin): S: 2 μg/ml; I: 4 μg/ml; R: 8 μg/ml. DA (clindamycin): S: 2 μg/ml; I: 4 μg/ml; R: 8 μg/ml. LEV (levofloxacin): S: 2 μg/ml; I: 4 μg/ml; R: 8 μg/ml. VA (vancomycin): S: 4 μg/ml; I: 8 μg/ml; R: 32 μg/ml. CAZ (ceftazidime): S: 16 μg/ml; I: 32 μg/ml; R: 64 μg/ml. AML (amoxicillin): S: 0.5 μg/ml; I: 1 μg/ml; R: 2 μg/ml. OX (oxacillin): S: 32 μg/ml; I: 64 μg/ml; R: 128 μg/ml. CTX (cefotaxime): S: 16 μg/ml; I: 32 μg/ml; R: 64 μg/ml. We used the chi-square test of the row × column of multiple rates or multiple constituent ratios in SPSS software.
