In 2016, antibiogram data representing 62 (89%) acute-care hospitals was reported and is included in this statewide report. Each
page of this eleven page report displays the average percent susceptibility (red dots) and standard deviation (red bars) of bacterial
isolates to relevant antibiotics. These data are representative of antibiotic susceptibility data for 204,166 inpatient and outpatient
bacterial isolates, and does not represent the full extent of antibiotic resistance in Massachusetts.

**Page 1**
The graph on page 1 displays the average percent susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii to various antibiotics in 2016. The standard deviationfor the average percent susceptibility for each antibioticis also displayed. The x-axis displays antibiotics that were tested against Acinetobacter baumannii, and the y-axis displays percent susceptibility. The antibiotic with the lowest average percent susceptibility was ertapenem (0%). The antibiotic with the highest average percent susceptibility was tobramycin (98%). It is important to note that the data displayed may or may not include duplicate isolates.
