*MRP, mutlidrug resistance–associated protein; Not known means that the cpe gene is present in the isolate but the location (plasmid/chromosome) of the gene is not known. ND means that since the cpe gene is not present in the isolate, the location of the gene cannot naturally be determined. | ||||||||
