Associations between antibiotic consumption intensity and extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance in nursing homes: a retrospective ecological study
No association was found between overall ABC and ESC-R rates. Cephalosporin consumption showed a modest association, while for carbapenems this could reflect therapeutic use. These findings highlight the need for enhanced surveillance and resident-level data to better understand antibiotic resistance drivers in this setting.
