“…Bacterial resistance puts the community and individuals at risk, concurs with these results where they found some bacterial strains are very resistant resulting in fatal outcomes [12]. The emergence of resistant bacterial strains have caused to an increase in the mortality and morbidity rates of previously treatable infectious diseases, such as: Acute respiratory infections, diarrhoea, and tuberculosis [13]. Also, antibiotic misuse is highly related to the development of bacterial resistance, such as failing to complete a course of antibiotic therapy, this might reflect the patient's/parent's low level of knowledge about antibiotics and their appropriate use [14][15][16].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the prescriptions pattern of antibiotic in paediatric in-patient department of General Thamar Hospital in Yemen. The method was prospective and observational study which was carried out for 2 months duration between March-April 2015. Patient's data was being recorded in a specific format and results were analysed by descriptive statistic and expressed as mean ± SD. The result was out of 148 patients, 95 prescriptions were taken antibiotics, where 59 were male child and 36 were female child. The mean age of patient on antibiotic was 1.49 ± 2.12 years. The total antibiotics were prescribed to the patients was 194 and the average number of antibiotics per prescription was 2.04 ± 0.55. The most prevalent diseases among studied patients was bronchitis (27.4%) followed by asthma (15.8%), and lower respiratory tract infection (9.5%). Cephalosporin (51.5%) was found to be widely prescribed antibiotic followed by penicillin (25.3), aminoglycosides (13.4), metronidazole (5.7%), vancomycin (2.6%), and azithromycin. The most of the antibiotics were administered for inpatients 183 (94.3%) prescribed parenteral, and 11 (5.7%) prescribed oral. The conclusion of study was Ceftriaxone and penicillin was identified to be the most prescribed medications in the General Thamar hospital. The selection of antibiotic should be based on culture and sensitivity test to avoid the development of bacterial resistance; however prescription of antibiotic should be done in accordance with WHO guidelines and rational strategies.

“…An important contributing factor in the Sudan is the deliberate self-administration of antibiotics by patients themselves when they are ill with diarrheal diseases. 19 Our findings stress the need for distributing reliable information about antibiotic resistance and for ongoing drug-resistance surveillance.…”

Abstract. Antimicrobial sensitivity tests were performed on four-hundred and ninety-seven bacterial isolates from Sudanese patients with diarrhea or urinary tract infections. Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli showed high resistance rates (percentage of isolates showing antibiotic resistance) against the commonlyused antimicrobial agents: ampicillin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, cotrimoxazole, nalidixic acid, sulfonamide, and neomycin, and were completely sensitive to ciprofloxacin. Eighteen resistance patterns against nine antimicrobial agents tested were observed in enteric pathogens. Resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, cotrimoxazole, and sulfonamide was the most frequent pattern. The common urinary pathogens, E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis showed high rates of resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin, cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, sulfonamide, trimethoprim, streptomycin, and carbenicillin. We recommend that physicians seek updated knowledge of the common antibiotic-sensitivity patterns when starting empirical antibiotic therapy in Sudanese patients with diarrhea or urinary tract infection.

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] However, assessment of agricultural antimicrobial drug use in low-and middle-income countries has largely been neglected. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Few studies have examined the extent of animal antimicrobial drug use in low and middle-income countries where vulnerability to drug-resistant infectious diseases is greatest.…”

Abstract. Antimicrobial drug administration to household livestock may put humans and animals at risk for acquisition of antimicrobial drug-resistant pathogens. To describe animal husbandry practices, including animal healthcareseeking and antimicrobial drug use in rural Bangladesh, we conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with key informants, including female household members (n = 79), village doctors (n = 10), and pharmaceutical representatives, veterinarians, and government officials (n = 27), and performed observations at animal health clinics (n = 3). Prevalent animal husbandry practices that may put persons at risk for acquisition of pathogens included shared housing and water for animals and humans, antimicrobial drug use for humans and animals, and crowding. Household members reported seeking human and animal healthcare from unlicensed village doctors rather than formal-sector healthcare providers and cited cost and convenience as reasons. Five times more per household was spent on animal than on human healthcare. Strengthening animal and human disease surveillance systems should be continued. Interventions are recommended to provide vulnerable populations with a means of protecting their livelihood and health.
