- •
Nationwide prevalence of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 20.6%.
- •
Of the hospitals, 36% use molecular methods to confirm clonal outbreaks.
- •
Antibiotic resistance was significantly associated with epidemiologic investigations using molecular methods.
- •
Effective identification and isolation of infected patients was associated with decreased resistance.
- •
Level of information and resources dedicated to controlling antimicrobial resistance was associated with multidrug resistance.
