  Fig. 1 Correlation of national aminoglycoside usage and gentamicin-resistance rates (%) of P. aeruginosa (GEN-R-PAE) isolated from general hospitals. Correlation of gentamicin usage and GEN-R-PAE (correlation coefficient r=0.83, P=0.0028); correlation of total aminoglycoside usage and GEN-R-PAE (r=0.92, P=0.0001).

  Fig. 2 Correlation of national amikacin usage and amikacin-resistance rates (%) of P. aeruginosa (AMK-R-PAE) isolated from general hospitals. Correlation of amikacin usage and AMK-R-PAE in the same year (correlation coefficient r=–0.11, P=0.8192); correlation of amikacin usage and AMK-R-PAE with 2-year interval (r=0.77, P=0.0145).
