For fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin), PA showed resistance levels between 9.6 and 14.1%R for inpatients, whereas resistance levels were between 3.3 and 10.4%R for outpatients, both with an increasing trend over time (inpatients: n.s., outpatients: p < 0.05) ( Figure 8 ).
Both, imipenem and meropenem showed a slightly increasing trend of resistance (%R) for inpatients and outpatients during 2010–2021, however these trends were statistically not significant.
As an overall trend, the percentage of MDR, extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and possible pandrug-resistant (PDR) isolates generally declined over the study period.
