↵ b Including strains from references 3, 5, 6, and 15 to 17.
↵ c Phenotypes listed indicate levels of susceptibility to the drugs imipenem (Imp) and ceftazidime (Caz). The superscript letters indicate the following: s, sensitivity, r, resistance; and r-i, resistance to intermediate susceptibility.
↵ d Where a single value is not listed, the MIC range is given. IMP, imipenem; EPI, EDTA-phenanthroline-imipenem.
