  1. aPhenotypic: phenotypic resistance of the 222 studied isolates; Genotypic: genotypic resistance of the isolates; Concordance: % of similarity between phenotypic and genotypic resistance
  2. bPhenotypic screens of 62 isolates for trimethoprim resistance were not done, thus, reducing the total number of isolates tested for trimethoprim resistance to N = 160
