Mutation frequency categorization of 103 E. coli clinical isolates by the fosfomycin-rifampin diffusion test compared with that obtained by the conventional method. White bars, strains with <30 colonies around the fosfomycin disk and <10 around the rifampin disk; gray bars, strains with >30 but <70 colonies around the fosfomycin disk or >70 around the fosfomycin but <10 around the rifampin disk; black bars, strains with >70 colonies around the fosfomycin disk and >10 colonies around the rifampin disk; striped bars, strains with <30 colonies around the fosfomycin disk and >10 around the rifampin disk.
