- The study examines antibiotic resistance trends in Northern Iran following the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting concerns about overuse of antibiotics during that time.
- Over 2,190 clinical samples from healthcare-associated infections were analyzed, showing 100% resistance to co-amoxiclav and 29.82% resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam, with colistin being the most effective against multi-drug resistant bacteria.
- The findings indicate significant multi-drug resistance, suggesting piperacillin/tazobactam as a preferred treatment option for these infections.
