- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Data for 1990-2000 were manually computerized by volunteers from microbiology records; data for 2001-2008 were obtained with the cubes computer program.
- ↑ BC, blood cultures
- ↑ NA, not available
- ↑ Trend statistical analysis demonstrated an absence of significant changes in annual incidence of any of these organisms for 1990-2000.
- ↑ * Routine testing for ESBL was initiated in 2002
- ↑ Susceptibilities of Imipenem (Imp) and Meropenem (Mer) are not identical, but similar. Since 2006, the microbiology laboratory determines susceptibility to both Imipenem and meropenem
- ↑ All isolates of Enterococcus faecalis were susceptible to vancomycin. Of 91 isolates of Enterococcus faecium 47% were Vancomycin susceptible.
- ↑ Salmonella: includes Salmonella arizonae, group B, group C, group D, group E, and Salmonella species. Not included are S. typhi (n=3 ) and S. paratyphi (n=1).
- ↑ S. aureus: 59% methicillin susceptible (=MSSA). Rate varies from Pediatric isolates (90%); through ED isolates (61%) and Medical Departments' isolates (48%) to ICU isolates (32%). 100% of isolates were Vancomycin-susceptible. See separate tables for results of S. aureus.
- ↑ S. pneumoniae (n=490): Below, respectively, age 20 years (n=273) and above 20 years (n=218): Penicillin susceptible (defined as MIC < 0.1 μgm/ml) respectively 74% and 85%; Intermediate resistance (MIC = 0.1-2) 26% and 15 respectively; Resistant (MIC > 2) 0% and 0% respectively. See separate tables for detailed results of S. pneumoniae.
- ↑ Includes: adult and pediatric dialysis units, hematological and pediatric day care centers, personnel, other
- ↑ Imipenem until 2006, Meropenem since 2006
- ↑ continues to be tested
- ↑ tested until 2006
- ↑ tested since 2006
- ↑ significant change in % methicillin susceptibility was noted over the study period
- ↑ Oxa-Oxacillin (=similar to methicillin), Rif-Rifampicin, Cip-Ciprofloxacin, Clin-Clindamycin, Chlor-Chloramphenicol, Sept-Cotrimoxazole (=trimethorpim-sulfamethoxazole), Vanc-Vancomycin, Fus-Fusidic acid
- ↑ Linezolid and daptomycin are available in SZMC; however, systematic susceptibility testing of all strains is not yet performed.
- ↑ 83% of isolates were erythromycin susceptible
- ↑ 92% of isolates were erythromycin susceptible, a significantly higher rate than in children (p<0.01).
- ↑ 92% of isolates from adults were erythromycin susceptible, a significantly higher rate than in children (p<0.01).
- ↑ No significant changes in annual incidence of various streptococci were observed.
