Title of the publication | Reduction of fluoroquinolone use is associated with a decrease in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and fluoroquinolone- resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolation rates: a 10 year study |
---|---|
Abstract | Objectives: High rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and fluoroquinolone-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be related, in part, to the overuse of fluoroquinolones. The objective was to analyse and correlate long-term surveillance data on MRSA and fluoroquinolone-resistant P. aeruginosa rates and antibiotic consumption after implementation of an institution-wide programme to reduce fluoroquinolone use. |
