MICs are determined by broth microdilution using iron-depleted and cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth.

MIC50, MIC at which cefiderocol inhibits growth of 50% of tested isolates.

MIC90, MIC at which cefiderocol inhibits growth of 90% of tested isolates.

MIC50 and MIC90 not determined if <10 isolates.

*MIC 90 exceeding either FDA or EUCAST breakpoint, whichever is higher.
