 The study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to an increase in the spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria in hospitals. This is because the surge in COVID-19 cases leads to more people being exposed to the virus, which increases the likelihood of them becoming infected. Additionally, the implementation of strict quarantine measures and other measures to reduce the spread of the virus can lead to a decrease in the use of antibiotics, which can also lead to an increase in the spread of multi-drug resistant bacteria.
