Swedish counties, beta-lactamase resistant penicillins(J01CF), DDD/prescription, 2000-2003. The counties are sorted after thehighest use 2003.One reason for this increase could probably be the ongoingepidemic of impetigo contagiosa caused by S. aureus resistantto fusidic acid. There is an obvious increase in the age groups0-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years, with a peak in August each year,when impetigo can be expected to increase since the childrenstart day care centres and school again after the summer(Figure 3.6).DDD/1000/day6543210jan-00jul-00sep-00nov-00mar-00may-00jan-01mar-01may-01jul-01sep-01nov-01jan-02mar-02may-02jul-02sep-02nov-02jan-03mar-03may-03jul-030 - 45 - 910 - 1415 - 1920 - 5960 - 7980 -sep-03nov-03jan-04Figure 3.6.

Note thatthe total amount of DDD for these substances against urinarytract infections is about six times larger for women thanfor men.0%Figure 3.7.

However, slight changes in use are seenfor different groups of antibiotics and penicillins with extendedspectrum accounts for the greatest increase, followed bybeta-lactamase resistant pencillins (Figure 3.9).Beta-lactamase sensitive penicillins (J01CE)Macrolides (J01FA)Tetracyclines (J01AA)Aminoglycosides (J01GB)Imidazole derivatives (J01XD)Cephalosporins (J01DA)Glycopeptides (J01XA)Trimethoprim and sulfonamides (J01EE)Carbapenems (J01DH)Lincosamides (J01FF)Combinations of penicillins (J01CR)Trimethoprim (J01EA)Quinolones (J01MA)Beta-lactamase resistant penicillins (J01CF)Penicillins with extended spectrum (J01CA)-0,010-0,0050,0000,0050,010DDD/1000/day0,0150,020Figure 3.9.
