*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 which a high dose of cefepime (anti-pseudomonal dosing) is anticipated to be active. Consult Pediatric ASP or ID for guidance on treating isolates reported as susceptible-dose dependent.
