Providers should make an effort to understand local resistance patterns including those of the referring hospitals. Such data are relevant to monitor longitudinal resistance trends and formulate regional public health interventions. The institutional antibiograms often contained insufficient isolates and multidrug resistant isolates were not routinely tested.
