AI-generated Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between the restriction of antibiotic usage, specifically 3rd generation cephalosporins and vancomycin, and the susceptibility of carbapenem-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. The results indicate an increase in susceptibility to carbapenems, with P. aeruginosa showing an increase from 49% to 77% and Acinetobacter spp. from 27% to 88% between 2004 and 2005. The study suggests that reducing the use of these antibiotics may be an effective strategy for controlling carbapenem resistance.
