“…However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics for upper RTIs in children is widespread and fuelled by public attitudes and expectations heralding the emergence of resistance (Parimi et al, 2004). The ever-increasing tendency to purchase drugs over-the-counter in our environment heralds the emergence of resistant strains of pathogens posing a great problem in the treatment and control of such pathogens (Ndip et al, 2001). …”

“…It is estimated that Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Nepal together account for 40% of the global ARI, which are bacterial in origin (Shrestha et al, 2006) There is a widespread agreement that viruses are the principal initiators of RTIs (Ndip et al, 2001). In case of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) only 25% of cases are due to bacteria, mostly…”

“…Colonies were then subjected to oxidase, catalase, coagulase, motility tests, Gram staining, as well as growth on Kliger iron agar. Colonies were presumptively identified based on their morphological and colonial characteristics (7,10). Their identity was confirmed using the Analytical Profile Index (API) 20E (Biomerieux SA, Marcy E'Etiole, France) (7).…”

“…The most commonly used antibiotics in the Unites Sates are cefazolin and cefozitin (6). The use of vancomycin is increasingly important for the treatment of hospital acquired Staphylococcus infections (7). Topical antibiotics such as silver sulphadiazine, compounds containing silver or iodine and honey have the potential to reduce the bacterial burden in wounds (8).…”

A systematic review of the published literature on bacterial resistance in Central Africa between 1955 and 2008 was performed. Eighty-three publications from seven countries were retrieved, the majority presenting data on enteric and other Gramnegative pathogens. Despite methodological limitations in many studies, alarming resistance rates are noted in nearly all pathogens. Of special concern are multidrug resistance in Shigella and Salmonella spp. and the emergence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, high-level penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and extended-spectrum -lactamases among Gram-negative pathogens. These findings make clear that the Central African region shares the worldwide trend of increasing antimicrobial resistance and is in urgent need of sound surveillance based on competent and affordable microbiology to provide clear data on antimicrobial resistance. These data could enable redaction of local treatment guidelines and fuel national and regional policies to contain antimicrobial resistance.
