Current evidence suggests that controlling antibiotic resistance requires the monitoring of both susceptibility trends and antimicrobial usage within specific patient-care areas of the hospital. To assess the differences between antimicrobial usage-versus-susceptibility relationships found in the hospital and those relationships found in specific patient-care areas, susceptibility and antimicrobial usage data collected over a 5-year period (1992-1996) at the Medical University of South Carolina were analyzed. For each area, the relationship between drug use and susceptibility was analyzed for 8 gram-negative organisms with respect to 19 different agents and for 3 staphylococci with respect to 10 agents with use of simple linear regression. The relationships found in the hospital had a poorer overall agreement with the relationships found in the intensive care units (ICUs; &lt;20%) than they did with the relationships found in the non-ICUs ( approximately 65%). Surveillance should include both susceptibility and drug usage patterns in individual areas within an institution.
