E. Coli Drug Resistance Trends in Guizhou ICU Patients

Correlation analysis results from a study of Escherichia coli infection and drug resistance patterns in Guizhou, China. The dataset includes findings on infection rates, ESBL-positive rates, and resistance to 17 antibiotics. Zeling Dong published this analysis on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlation between infection_rate and ESBL-positive_rate using Pearson's test results.
• Model trends in comprehensive_drug_resistance_rate against ICU_detection_rate.
• Compare multidrug_resistance_rate patterns between ICU and non-ICU patient groups.
• Assess susceptibility trends across 17_antibiotics tested with the VITEK-2 Compact system.

Strengths

• Drug susceptibility testing performed for 17 antibiotics.
• Analysis includes correlation results using two-tailed Pearson's test in SPSS.

Limitations

• Dataset size is 26.5 KB, indicating limited raw data or summary statistics only.
• Geographic scope is restricted to Guizhou, China, limiting generalizability.
• Specific row counts and column details are unknown.
