Figure Lengend Snippet: Vancomycin MIC for all CoNS isolates. Note: 54% ( n = 27) of isolates had an MIC of 0.125 μg/mL, 30% ( n = 15) had an MIC of 0.25 μg/mL, and 16% ( n = 8, all MRCoNS) had an MIC of 0.5 μg/mL. *In comparison to MRCoNS, MSCoNS isolates had lower MIC of vancomycin that was significant ( p < 0.05).
