a

For comparative purposes only, percent susceptible and percent resistant for cefepime-taniborbactam correspond to the percentage of isolates inhibited at ≤16 μg/mL and ≥32 μg/mL, respectively.

b

NA, not applicable.

c

Includes isolates with MBLs and serine carbapenemases; isolates could also possess OSBLs (original spectrum β-lactamases, e.g., TEM-1, SHV-1, etc.), ESBLs, or AmpC-type enzymes.

d

Isolates could also possess AmpC-type enzymes, or OSBLs, but no carbapenemases.

e

Includes isolates that possess IMP (n = 5), NDM (n = 207), and VIM (n = 22). One isolate possessed both NDM and IMP.

f

Isolates could also possess the OXA-48 group, ESBLs, AmpC-type enzymes, OSBLs but not MBLs.

g

Isolates could also possess serine carbapenemases, ESBLs, AmpCs, and/or OSBLs, but no other MBLs.

h

Isolates could also possess ESBLs, AmpC-type enzymes, or OSBLs, but no other carbapenemases.

i

Isolates could also possess OSBLs, but no ESBLs or carbapenemases.

j

Isolates could also possess serine carbapenemases, ESBLs, AmpCs, and/or OSBLs, but no other MBLs.
