Prevalence of macrolide resistance in Treponema pallidum is associated with macrolide consumption Free

Abstract

We hypothesized that the large global variations in the prevalence of macrolide resistance in Treponema pallidum are related to differences in population-level macrolide consumption. The hypothesis was tested by, at a country-level, regressing the peak prevalence of macrolide resistance against the national macrolide consumption in the year prior to this, controlling for the year of the resistance prevalence estimate. A strong association was found between the per capita consumption of macrolides and macrolide resistance (coefficient 0.7, 95 % confidence interval 0.2–0.12, P=0.009).
