  1. Range of concentrations tested and cut-off values for resistance are indicated. MICs equal to or lower than the lowest concentration tested are given as the lowest tested concentration. MICs above the range of concentrations tested are given as the concentration closest to the range. MICs above the cut-off value for resistance are given in bold lettering.
