Fig. 5: Coarse changes in mean MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) for all pathogen-antibiotic (PA) pairs: some decreases with increases in Asia.
From: Seeking patterns of antibiotic resistance in ATLAS, an open, raw MIC database with patient metadata
A The distribution of mean MICs for PA pairs aggregated globally: a potential reduction is apparent from 2005 to 2015 in some countries with increases in India and China. B The slope of a linear regression attempts to predict mean MIC changes globally for all PA pairs and is shown as a dot. A blue-to-red colour scale indicates normalised \({\log }_{2}\) MIC change per year: red is +ve, blue is -ve, light grey is no change, grey countries in A and C have insufficient data, as do white regions in B. Dots are clustered into PA pairs of similar change, indicative of a global motif of predicted increases and decreases; the same analysis using European-only data is Supplementary Fig. 15A. C European MICs aggregated across all PA pairs in 2017 shown by country indicate possible differences between eastern and western Europe. Colourbars in A and C show normalised \({\log }_{2}\) MIC units.
