The relationships between the European Quality of Government Index (EQI), antibiotic consumption, and the average antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The scatter plots in (A) and (B) visually represent the linear relationships (with 95% confidence intervals) of the EQI with antibiotic consumption and average AMR, respectively. The box plots in (C) and (D) illustrate the differences in antibiotic consumption and average AMR across tertiles of the EQI
