Values are % of strains testing susceptible to listed antibiotic. Unless indicated, results are for all inpatient/ED locations and culture sites.
Susceptibilities are based on data from 2019-2021. Isolate numbers and 95% confidence intervals are provided to gauge precision of susceptibility estimate.

*When fewer than 30 isolates are reported, % susceptible may not reflect robust estimate of population susceptibility
**Reporting of Cefazolin susceptibility for E. coli, Klebsiella spp and Proteus is based on breakpoints for complicated infections - see outpatient E. coli susceptibilities for reporting based on uncomplicated UTI breakpoints
***Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates do not include isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis.
# Number in parentheses represents the percentage of isolates both fully susceptible and susceptible-dose dependent to cefepime, for each organism. Susceptible-dose dependent isolates of Enterobacteriaceae are those with MIC 4 to 8 micrograms/mL for a cefepime dose of 50 mg/kg/dose iv q8h with maximum 2g/dose, as routinely recommended per BCH Pediatric Antimicrobial Dosing Guidelines, is anticipated to be active.
