Linear regression coefficients for association between antimicrobial consumption (2008 and 2013) and percent antimicrobial resistance for quinolones, macrolides and ceftriaxone (2009 and 2014; coefficient [95% confidence interval]).
| Antimicrobial | 2009 | N | 2014 | N |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cephalosporins | 0.0005 (0.0002–0.0007)* | 40 | 0.0003 (0.0002–0.0004)** | 34 |
| Macrolides | 0.00008 (−0.0007–0.0009) | 27 | 0.0005 (0.00002–0.001)* | 35 |
| Fluoroquinolones | 0.0006 (−0.0006–0.002) | 40 | 0.02 (0.006–0.031)* | 38 |
