Metapopulation ecology links antibiotic resistance, consumption and patient transfers in a network of hospital wards

2019-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat. A better understanding of how antibiotic use and between ward patient transfers (or connectivity) impact hospital AMR can help optimize antibiotic stewardship and infection control strategies. Here, we used metapopulation ecology to explain variations in infection incidences of 17 ESKAPE pathogen variants in a network of 357 hospital wards. Multivariate models ide...
