Additional file 9: of Antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus suis isolated from diseased pigs, asymptomatic pigs, and human patients in Thailand

Table S5. Inhibition zone diameter and zone interpretation of antibiotic drugs. Antibiotic drugs used in this study were classified into four different modes of inhibition including cell-wall synthesis inhibitors (6 drugs), protein synthesis inhibitors (9 drugs), DNA synthesis inhibitors (4 drugs), and antimetabolite (1 drug). The zone of inhibition was interpreted as susceptible (S), intermediate (I), or resistant (R), according to a standard protocol of Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and Ref. [20]. The interpretation according to EUCAST and CLSI 2013 was used for veterinary practice, described in EUCAST and CLSI-potency Neo-Sensitabs™ User’s Guide 2013, rev. date 11-04-2013 [30].
