S = Susceptible; I = Intermediate; R = Resistant
For disk diffusion, use paper disks impregnated with 5 mcg delafloxacin

a The current absence of resistant isolates precludes defining any results other than "Susceptible". Isolates yielding MIC results other than “Susceptible” should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.
b includes: S. anginosus, S. constellatus and S. intermedius
c E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and E. cloacae only.
