  1. NOTE:
  2. a ā€“ One Enterococcus isolate was identified as non-faecium / non-faecalis, and four were not available for species identification or linezolid susceptibility testing.
  3. b ā€“ Of the 21 patient isolates available for susceptibility testing; only the non-faecium / non-faecalis Enterococcus isolate was resistant to linezolid.
