Burden of Infections with Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in DALYs, EU & European Economic Area, 2015

Caption

Error bars are 95% uncertainty intervals. Greece did not report data on S pneumoniae isolates to the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network in 2015. DALY rates are age-standardised to limit the effect of demographic differences across countries; numbers of cases and deaths are not age-standardised. DALYs=disability-adjusted life-years. *Excludes those resistant to carbapenem or colistin. †In 2015, most of the third-generation cephalosporin-resistant E coli (88·6%) and K pneumoniae (85·3%) isolates reported to the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network produced an extended-spectrum β-lactamase.
