Table 2 Study level data. There was no SD in the mean number of resistant isolates per patient between the non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 wards in either country (resistances based on phenotypic data). There was no SD in length of ward stay in Sudan, but non-COVID-19 patients spent significantly longer on wards than COVID-19 patients in Zambia. Fisher’s exact test was applied in all cases
