  1. Note that ResFinder mainly makes predictions for antibiotic classes rather than individual drugs. R resistant, S sensitive, R* not sensitive considered as a particular resistance, R** prediction for beta-lactam class, not individual drugs, ND not determined. Incorrect predictions appear in bold text
