35 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from amr39, published by ncdc.mohfw.gov.in. The source is a 14-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include national amr surveillance network, antimicrobial resistance (amr) surveillance, staphylococcus aureus, enterococci species, escherichia coli, klebsiella species, pseudomonas species, acinetobacter species. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 22 factual, 6 comparison, 3 definition, 2 list, 1 relationship, 1 summary. 13 of the 35 pairs (37.1%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 22 are factual or table-based questions. 97.14% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| Why are antibiotic resistance rates higher for Acinetobacter species in ICU patients? | antibiotics are administered empirically | Isolates of Acinetobacter species showed >50% resistance to almost all the antibiotics tested. Among third generation cephalosporins, higher susceptibility was observed for ceftazidime than cefotaxime against both Pseudomonas species and Acinetobacter species. Among the ICU patients, antibiotics are administered empirically, therefore it is not surprising that the resistance rates against various antibiotics for Acinetobacter species are higher in the ICU setting as compared to ward and OPD (Figure 12). | 285 | relationship | 0.890 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr39.pdf | Among the ICU patients, antibiotics are administered empirically, therefore it is not surprising that the resistance rates against various antibiotics for Acinetobacter species are higher in the ICU setting as compared to ward and OPD (Figure 12). | 13 | page=13,block=4 | 0.700 | valid |
| In which setting was the resistance rate for tetracycline and doxycycline higher? | non-ICU setting | Resistance to gentamicin (aminoglycoside) was observed to be 38.7% for S. aureus and 59% for Enterococccus species (Table 3 and 4). Figure 4 depicts the higher resistance rates for most of the antibiotics tested against S. aureus in ICU settings as compared to non-ICU setting. the resistance rate for tetracycline and doxycycline was observed to be higher in non-ICU setting than in ICU setting (Figure 4 and 5).

| Which carbapenem showed greater resistance for Escherichia coli isolated from urine? | imipenem | Gram Negative Lactose Fermenting Bacteria E. coli isolated from blood showed 81.4% resistance to cefotaxime and 68.3% to cefepime. Similar trend was observed for urine isolates with resistance 79.3% to cefotaxime and 72.3% to cefepime. Resistance to carbapenems that is ertapenem and imipenem was observed to be 36.7% and 25.2% in blood isolates. While in urine isolates, slightly higher resistance was observed for imipenem (34%) than ertapenem (30.8%). In contrast to E. coli, isolates of Klebsiella species showed comparatively high resistance to carbapenems i.e. 43.5% to imipenem and 52.2% to ertapenem in blood isolates whereas 57.9% to imipenem and 55.8% to ertapenem in urine isolates. Similarly higher trend of resistance to cefotaxime and cefepime was observed in Klebsiella species isolated from blood and urine (Tables 5 and 6). | 284 | comparison | 0.840 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr39.pdf | Resistance to carbapenems that is ertapenem and imipenem was observed to be 36.7% and 25.2% in blood isolates. | 7 | page=7,block=2 | 0.700 | valid |

However isolation rate from blood was highest for S. aureus (36.4%), followed by Klebsiella species (21.1%), Acinetobacter species (15.8%), Enterococcus species (9.7%), E. coli (7.8%) and lowest for Pseudomonas species (6%) (Table 2). | 266 | comparison | 0.840 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr39.pdf | However isolation rate from blood was highest for S. aureus (36.4%), followed by Klebsiella species (21.1%), Acinetobacter species (15.8%), Enterococcus species (9.7%), E. | 4 | page=4,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |

Among the ICU patients, antibiotics are administered empirically, therefore it is not surprising that the resistance rates against various antibiotics for Acinetobacter species are higher in the ICU setting as compared to ward and OPD (Figure 12). | 173 | comparison | 0.840 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr39.pdf | Among third generation cephalosporins, higher susceptibility was observed for ceftazidime than cefotaxime against both Pseudomonas species and Acinetobacter species. | 13 | page=13,block=4 | 0.700 | valid |
