  1. NAL-S nalidixic acid susceptible, NAL-R nalidixic acid resistant, NOR-S norfloxacin susceptible, NOR-R norfloxacin resistant. aNAL-S & NOR-S strains, besides these strains, there were 3 strains showed NAL-S & NOR-I (intermediate resistant/susceptible) and 1 NAL-I & NOR-S strain. bNAL-R strains, among these strains, there were 71 NAL-R & NOR-I strains, which were not analysed in the table. The isolates that showed intermediate susceptible/resistant to NAL/NOR were not listed in detail in this table
