AML25 – amoxicillin 25 μg; AMC30 – amoxicillin+clavulanic acid 20 + 10 μg; AMP10 – ampicillin 10 μg; P10 – penicillin G 10 units; FOX30 – cefoxitin 30 μg; DA2 – clindamycin 2 μg; C30 – chloramphenicol 30 μg; E15 – erythromycin 15 μg; CN10 – gentamicin 10 μg; TE30 – tetracycline 30 μg; SXT25 – trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole 1:19, 25 μg; ENR5 – enrofloxacin 5 μg; FD5 – fusidic acid 5 μg. The resistance rate was calculated as the number of intermediate and resistant isolates divided by the total number of isolates
