Figures

Repeat use tends to be more positively associated with resistance than first use.

Each point represents a pathogen–antibiotic combination. The position of the points show the two coefficients from the regressions. The units of the coefficients are proportion resistant per annual claim per 10 people. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals.
