Abstract
The approximate situation of the spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria can be estimated by the use of the cross-resistance rate (CRR). In our previous study, we reported some interesting features of the CRR that the pharmaceutical prescription of antibiotic drugs to patients reflects the asymmetric behavior of the pharmacists. Those behaviors can be represented by asymmetric data of the drugs, and we could gain new insights into that matter by applying the radius-distance model (Okada and Imaizumi in Behaviormetrika 14:81–96, 1987). This model was developed for evaluating the similarity of asymmetric data, and the degree of the similarity can be visualized by a configuration with points and the radii of circles in a multidimensional Euclidean space. We adopted the data of CRR of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the first attempt to demonstrate the practical utility of this model. As a result, the same strains of antibiotics were distributed closely on the two-dimensional configuration. Even with different groups of antibiotics, the classification was found to be identical to the drugs’ mechanism of action. We clarified from the results of one month of chronological monitoring that the radii of the circles were influenced by a change in the environment, i.e., the hospital relocation. In conclusion, the radius-distance model has the potential for discovering new characteristics or specific features of the data from a new perspective in the fields of medical and pharmaceutical research.
