Objectives To assess the effect of general practice characteristics and antibiotic prescribing
on the number of non-susceptible Escherichia coli isolated from urine specimens submitted …

This study assessed urinary Escherichia coli antibiotic susceptibility patterns in Tasmania,
Australia, and examined their association with community antibiotic use. The susceptibility …

Background Knowledge of local antimicrobial resistance patterns is essential for evidence-
based empirical antibiotic prescribing, and a cutoff point of 20% has been suggested as the …

Objectives A retrospective analysis of databases was performed to describe trimethoprim
and ciprofloxacin prescribing and resistance in Escherichia coli within general practices in …

This study quantified the association between antibiotic prescribing for urinary tract
infections (UTIs) and the incidence/antimicrobial susceptibility of UTI-related Escherichia coli …

Background GPs are urged to prescribe antibiotics less frequently, despite lack of evidence
linking reduced antibiotic prescribing with reductions in resistance at a local level. Aim To …

Objectives: To examine the relationship between primary care prescribed antibiotics and the
development of antibiotic resistance in perineal flora contaminating unselected urinary …

A direct relation between antibiotic use and resistance has been shown at country level. We
aim to investigate the association between antibiotic prescribing for patients from individual …

Background The majority of studies that link antibiotic usage and resistance focus on simple
associations between the resistance against a specific antibiotic and the use of that specific …

Objectives The objective of this study was to measure the associations between domains of
deprivation and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli. Methods Routine surveillance data …
