  1. MIC minimum inhibitory concentration, S susceptible, I intermediate, R resistant
  2. aCiprofloxacin: Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin are interchangeable, but both are less active in vitro than moxifloxacin
  3. bClarithromycin: Class representative for all macrolides except erythromycin
  4. cAntimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by using the microdilution method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute standard M24-A2 (CLSI, 2011)
