Amoxicillin, pivmecillinam, and trimethoprim also showed a decrease in antibiotic resistance over the six years (a decreasing trend of 2.74% (p <0.001), 6.25% (p <0.001) and 2.54% (p <0.001) per year respectively).

Conclusions Despite our protocol based antibiotic policy, although the overall antibiotic resistance remained stable, there was an increasing trend in antibiotic resistance for more commonly used antibiotics including ciprofloxacin, co-amoxiclav, gentamicin, and tazocin reflecting their overall use for prophylaxis and treatment.
