  1. Notes:
  2. 1P number is the Lane number of PFGE study.
  3. 2S: Susceptible; R: Resistant; I: Belonged to resistant.
  4. 3The susceptibility tests were performed using the Vitek-2 GN card (Biomerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France). The results were interpreted using the CLSI breakpoints (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility testing).
  5. 4Abbreviation AN: amikacin; SAM: Ampicillin-sulbactam; CTZ: Ceftazidime; LVF: Levofloxacin; IMP: Imipenem-cilastatin; PIP-TAZ: Piperacillin-tazobactam; CRO: Ceftriaxone; colistin and tigecycline and polymyxin B were not provided by Vitek-2 System.
