*ABK, arbekacin; AMK, amikacin; TOB, tobramycin; ISP, isepamycin; GEN, gentamicin; SM, streptomycin; NEO, neomycin; CTX,
cefotaxime; CAZ, ceftazidime; IPM, imipenem; CIP, ciprofloxacin.

†MICs of kanamycin and sisomycin are not listed because values are >1,024 for all strain numbers.
‡See Table 2 for bacterial species and PCR type of 16S rRNA methylase gene of each strain number.
