^a: Multicenter study. The isolates were tested for different panels of antimicrobial agents in the different centers. ^b: Veal calves. ^c: Isolates from England included also Wales and have been collected by The Veterinary Laboratory Agency. The remaining part of the United Kingdom has separate laboratories.
