“…The relationship between the antibiotic consumption and resistance was investigated using cross-correlation, and four regression models were constructed, using the SPSS version 20.0 (IBM, Chicago, IL) and the R version 3.2.3 packages. RESULTS: During the period studied, the incidence of combined-resistant and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa strains increased significantly [(gradient = 0.78, R(2) = 0.707, p = 0.009) (gradient = 0.74, R(2) = 0.666, p = 0.013) respectively], mirroring the increase in consumption of β-lactam antibiotics with β-lactamase inhibitors (piperacillin/tazobactam) and carbapenems (meropenem) [(gradient = 10.91, R(2) = 0.698, p = 0.010) and (gradient = 14.63, R(2) = 0.753, p = 0.005) respectively]. …”
