MRGN (multidrug-resistant Gram-negative) bacteria are classified according to KRINKO as unsusceptible to the lead compounds of 3 (3-MRGN) or 4 (4-MRGN) of the following antibiotic classes: acyl ureidopenicillins (piperacillin-tazobactam or piperacillin), third- or fourth-generation cephalosporins (ceftazidime and cefepime), fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin), and carbapenems (meropenem and imipenem).
MIC50/90 is defined as the MIC in micrograms per milliliter at which 50%/90% of isolates were inhibited, respectively (12).
