Unravelling the complex interplay between antibiotic consumption and adaptive changes in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

In conclusion, this study the highlights the complex dynamics between AMR and antimicrobial use at the hospital level. The observed correlation between antimicrobial consumption and the development of less susceptible MRSA strains underscores the importance of antimicrobial stewardship programmes and the establishment of optimal consumption thresholds for mitigating AMR effectively.
