Figure Lengend Snippet: Calculated by applying the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) break-point values for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, and levofloxacin; and broth dilution MIC breakpoints for ceftazidime. There are no MIC interpretive criteria for tigecycline, colistin, or aztreonam, so susceptibility to them is assumed using interpretive criteria for Enterobacteriaceae. European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) has only published breakpoint criteria for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Total number of samples, n = 317

Article Snippet: The US Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CSLI) has published disc-diffusion minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) breakpoints for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, and levofloxacin and broth dilution MIC breakpoints for ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, ceftazidime, minocycline, levofloxacin, and chloramphenicol [ ].
