Difference in prediction reliability across the different bacteria/antimicrobial pairs (BAPs). (A) Pearson's correlation coefficients for prediction reliability of BARDmaps across the different BAPs. CBP, carbapenems; FQ, fluoroquinolones; MRSA, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; VNC, vancomycin; AG, aminoglycosides; 3GC, third-generation cephalosporins; AMP, aminopenicillins; MAC, macrolides; PEN, penicillin; GEN, gentamicin; AK, amikacin; CFT, ceftriaxone; PPT, piperacillin/tazobactam; RF, rifampicin. (B) Box-and-whiskers plot to detect outlier BAPs in prediction reliability. Three outliers were present in the 2-year prediction identified to be Escherichia coli and carbapenems, S. aureus and rifampicin, and Enterococcus faecalis and vancomycin. These outliers had a relatively low prediction reliability compared with the remaining BAPs and they exhibited a prominent change in prediction reliability between 1- and 2-year predictions. (C) The distribution of different BAPs across categories of correlation coefficients. Only four BAPs in 1-year predictions and five BAPs in 2-year predictions had a Pearson's correlation coefficient <0.6.
