Figure 1

Top diagram shows dates of introduction of antimicrobials; relevant examples are indicated below colored lines for some groups. Dashed lines indicate antibiotics without group. Insert graph shows the date of introduction of antimicrobials, date of first reports of antimicrobial resistance in A. baumannii, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR) bacterial strains. Dashed lines indicate interval between antibiotic introduction and first report of resistance in A. baumannii.
