Blood and bone marrow cultures are considered the gold standard for diagnosis of typhoid, but these methods require infrastructure skilled staff that not always available in low- middle-income countries where typhoid is endemic. The objective study to evaluate sensitivity specificity nine commercially Salmonella Typhi rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) using blood culture as a reference multicenter study.
As safe agents of last resort, carbapenems are reserved for the treatment infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. The impact β-lactam antibiotics, cefotaxime, and meropenem on frequency diversity carbapenemase-producing organisms recovered from environmental samples has not been fully established. Therefore, this methodological study aimed at determining drugs used in selective enrichment their recovery Enterobacterales (CPE) untreated wastewater. We a longitudinal design where...
Carbapenem-resistant bacteria (CRB) present a significant global public health concern. Sub-Saharan Africa has borne heavy burden of CRB with reported prevalence up to 60% in some patient populations. es focus on clinical isolates, limited data their spread the natural environment. Therefore, purpose this study was report recovery from Nairobi River surface waters and nearby anthropogenic zoonotic sources County, Kenya. A total 336 were recovered (250 mL) samples, 230 samples (68.5%)...
Background: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli are among the most important causes of food-borne diseases. They cause illnesses ranging from mild diarrhea to more severe conditions that may progress hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The burden STEC in patients with diarrheal illness Kitale county referral hospital, Trans-Nzoia County had not been established. This study was aimed at determining prevalence STEC, its associated virulence genes antimicrobial...

The objective study to evaluate sensitivity specificity nine commercially Salmonella Typhi rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) using blood culture as reference a multicenter study.
