Pathogens are typically classified as ‘antibiotic-resistant’ for clinical purposes based on cut-off values of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). In this study, the authors explore quantitative values of MICs using the global ‘ATLAS’ database of pathogen-antibiotic pairs, describe trends in resistance, and compare results to other antibiotic resistance surveillance data.
