Distribution of the antibiotic resistance genes depending on the MICs of the target antibiotics. The significance values of χ2 tests that compare the resistance levels among strains with or without the actual antibiotic resistance genes or genetic divisions are shown in the legends after the genes. Here n.a. means not applicable. n.s. means not significant. These allow us to estimate the roles of the genes responsible for resistances to the antibiotics in question. Graphs a-g show the results for ampicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefoxitin, imipenem, clindamycin, moxifloxacin, tetracycline and tigecycline. The blue arrows denote the resistance breakpoints [22]. DivI and DivII denotes the two genetic divisions of B. fragilis (DivI—cfiA-negative, DivII—cfiA-positive). In case of ampicillin since the breakpoint is 4 μg/ml and the lowest value was 8 μg/ml blue arrow has not been shown
