Abstract
resolution that banned over-the-counter sales of antimicrobials in drugstores. That measure, focusing on outpatients, was not likely to succeed in controlling CRE spread in hospitals. Nevertheless, there was a substantial decrease in antimicrobial sales in private drugstores in response to public opinion. The extent to which this decrease has influenced or will influence antimicrobial resistance is a matter for further research.
