  1. Resistance phenotypes were determined for all antibiotics, except daptomycin, by disk diffusion (Kirby–Bauer) method according to CLSI 2014 guidelines (MastGroupLtd, United Kingdom). Resistance to daptomycinwas tested using E-tests trip (Liofilchem®, Italy)
  2. R resistant, I intermediary, S susceptible
