Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–ProducingEnterobacteriaceaein a Malian Orphanage

Abstract: We show high rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamaseproducing Enterobacteriaceae carriage among the staff and children at an orphanage in Bamako, Mali. Enterobacteriaceae colonized in 100% and 63%, respectively, of the 38 children and 30 adults studied. Use of antimicrobial drugs appeared excessive and inappropriate; decontamination and hygiene protocols were also questioned.

“…ESBLs are not just nosocomial infections in big hospitals in Ghana, but are spreading into the communities as well (Feglo et al, 2013). In this present study 43/51(84%) of the urinary E. coli isolates produced ESBL and 16(37.2%) were community isolates, an observation, which confirms findings in other studies that ESBL-producing Enterobacteria are detectable in both community and hospitalized patients with varying prevalence levels as 63% was reported from Mali (Tande et al, 2009), 43% in Ghana (Feglo et al, 2013), 40% in Niger (Woerther et al, 2011) and 26% in Kenya (Kariuki et al, 2007) and 28.66% in Bangladesh (Islam et al, 2017). It was estimated that ESBL prevalence of 80% in a hospital setting will lead to as much as 80% of treatments failures and 35% Bla CTX-M bands (593pbs) mortality (Perez et al, 2007).…”

“…Ces deux dernières ont occupé 81,23% du total des souches productrices de BLSE. Plusieurs travaux ont également souligné l'émergence observée au niveau de ces deux souches (Kader et Kumar, 2005 ;Al Jasser, 2006 ;Aminzadeh et al, 2007 ;Zarakolu et al, 2007;Tandé et al, 2009). Une action de lutte privilégierait plus le genre Escherichiae et Klebsiellae.…”

“…In Tanzania (2009-2010), 50.3% (92/183) of K. pneumoniae strains isolated from blood cultures were ESBL producers; 5.5% (5/92) of them were from the community and 94.5% (87/92) from hospitals [13]. In Ghana (2007) and Mali (2003), ESBLs were produced, respectively, by 49.4% and 63.4% of Enterobacteriaceae isolated in community and hospital samples [14,15] [16].…”
