Monitoring antimicrobial cross-resistance with cross-resistance rate correlation diagrams: Changes in antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa due to hospital relocation.

Including cross-resistance rates in the routine monitoring of resistance and susceptibility rates practiced by a medical institution can provide a comprehensive insight into the dynamics of bacterial flora in the facility. CRR diagrams, which allow visualization of the status and changes in cross-resistance, not only provide a new perspective for clinicians, but they also contribute to the proper use of antibiotics and serve as a tool in the education of healthcare professionals and students about antibiotic resistance.
