commonly used in human medicine and directed toward different bacterial targets: vancomycin (VA; 30 μg), amikacin (AK; 30 μg), penicillin G (P; 10 units), tetracycline (TE; 30 μg), erythromycin (ERY; 15 μg), gentamicin (CN; 10 μg), clindamycin (DA; 2 μg
performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline by standard disk diffusion method. Antibiotics tested were: cefoxitin (30 μg), tigecycline (15 μg), vancomycin (30 μg), linezolid (30 μg), synercid (quinupristin
.043). Importantly, in the year prior to AMR surveillance, only one MRSA strain resistant to vancomycin and linezolid was isolated in the entire CCS, while in AMR surveillance year all MRSA isolates were susceptible to those two last-line antibiotics
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by the broth microdilution method in relation to 12 agents with the following ranges tested: vancomycin (0.25–32 µg/mL), penicillin (0.12–64 µg/mL), ciprofloxacin (0.25–128 µg/mL), tetracycline (0
