Correlation between antimicrobial consumption and antimicrobial resistance of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in a hospital setting: a 10-year study

Abstract

Our data demonstrated a significant increase in antimicrobial resistance to carbapenems, significant correlations between the consumption of antibiotics, especially carbapenems and beta-lactams, and rates of antimicrobial resistance of P. aeruginosa to imipenem and meropenem.
