Layan M. The Lancet Digital Health 2026;:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landig.2025.100972.
[Our results highlight alterations in antibiotic use and pathogen-specific effects of the pandemic on antibiotic resistance in hospitals. Although the biological mechanisms underlying between-species differences remain unclear, these results provide insights into the potential effects of a viral pandemic on antibiotic resistance and support the need for pandemic preparedness in health-care facilities.]
