For cases receiving antibiotics I would want to distinguish between prophylactic and therapeutic prescribing.
Are they being given “just in case” or are they being used to treat a bacterial infection (confirmed by testing)?
The general health/disease history and current medications of the patients most affected should also be considered when looking at the stats.
