Methicillin is an antibiotic that is used to treat an illness caused by $S.\ aureus$. MRSA means methicillin-resistant $S.\ aureus$. Year and total number of death certificates: 1997: $S.\ aureus = 369$, MRSA $= 355$ 1999: $S.\ aureus = 452$, MRSA $= 431$ 2001: $S.\ aureus = 456$, MRSA $= 681$ 2003: $S.\ aureus = 420$, MRSA $= 890$ 2005: $S.\ aureus = 428$, MRSA $= 1512$ Which statement cannot be supported by this data?
