Epidemiology of bacterial resistance in gastro-intestinal pathogens in a tropical area

Balantidiasis in a dromedarian camel

“…We found ampicillin as an effective and available drug in treatment of camel balantidiasis and our results was similar to that of Tarrar et al in buffaloes [13] . However, Bonfiglio et al reported that only 4% of B. coli strains were susceptible to ampicillin [14] .…”

Antimicrobial resistance of abnormal vaginal discharges microorganisms in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

“…Our results showed that these bacteria mainly M. hominis have developed multiple resistances. Several previous studies have already been conducted on the resistance of other bacteria to antibiotics [19,20] . Overall resistance rates recorded in this study were lower than those registered with the microorganisms isolated from urinary tract infections in the centre [12] .…”

“…The study population was women aged between 19 and 45 years with mean age of (33.65暲5.75). All the women were attending the Laboratory of the Saint Camille of Medical Centre Ouagadougou for vaginal swab (VS) examinations and culture.…”

Invasive multidrug-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella infections in Africa: zoonotic or anthroponotic transmission?

“…In Africa and most other developing regions, multidrug resistance, particularly to commonly available antibiotics, remains a major challenge for the healthcare system (Bonfiglio et al, 2002;Kariuki et al, 2005;World Health Organization, 2000). In particular, multidrug-resistant NTS have caused life-threatening invasive disease outbreaks in children in many African countries, including Zaire (Cheesbrough et al, 1997;Green & Cheesbrough, 1993), Rwanda (Lepage et al, 1990), Nigeria (Adejuyigbe et al, 2004) and Malawi (Graham, 2002;Milledge et al, 2005).…”
