Population-level antimicrobial consumption is associated with decreased antimicrobial susceptibility in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in 24 European countries: an ecological analysis Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Objectives. There are substantial variations between different populations in the susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to antimicrobials, and the reasons for this are largely unexplored. We aimed to assess whether the population-level consumption of antimicrobials is a contributory factor.
Methods. Using antimicrobial susceptibility data from 24 countries in the European Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme and ...
