Decision support only: coverage is the share of first isolates from similar patients that were susceptible (an organism not tested for a drug counts as not covered). It does not replace local treatment guidelines, allergy and severity assessment, or clinical judgement. The black tick on each bar is the coverage target; the bracket is the 95 % confidence interval.
