There was no correlation of eCCL and the number of
tobramycin courses in group Tob+ (Cockcroft-Gault r = -0.17; Schwartz r = 0.03, Table 2).
The overall resistance rates were: colistin 9.77%, amikacin 46.86%, imipenem 49.8%, piperacillin/tazobactam 49.65%, meropenem 50.48%,
tobramycin 50.17%, ceftazidime 53.06%, ciprofloxacin 60.27%, and gentamicin 64.23%.

Since the discovery [2] of streptomycin in 1944, a series of related compounds like neomycin (1949), kanamycin (1957), paromomycin (1959), gentamicin (1963) and
