Background Antibiotics are increasingly becoming ineffective as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to develop and spread globally—leading more difficult treat infections. Countries such Uganda still challenged with implementation of AMR related strategies due data paucity. This includes a lack on the prevailing knowledge awareness antibiotic use among farming communities, both commercial subsistence, which instrumental in targeted interventions. The aim our study was assess knowledge,...
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) represents a significant global public health concern. The epidemiology of ESBL-Ec in Uganda is not well understood although it harbored by humans, animals, and the environment. This study explains using one approach selected farming households Wakiso district, Uganda.Environmental, human, animal samples were collected from 104 households. Additional data obtained observation checklists through interviews with household...
Abstract Background Infectious vaginitis is one of the most prevalent conditions affecting women reproductive age with significant clinical consequences. Bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvo-vaginal candidiasis (VVC), and trichomoniasis (TV) are main etiologies. Unfortunately, there limited data on prevalence associated risk factors, especially in sub-saharan Africa. This study, thus, determined factors infectious among seeking health services at a Marie-stopes facility urban areas Kampala,...
In this study, we sought to establish the prevalence of leptospirosis among renal patients and general outpatients attending Mulago National Referral Hospital, Uganda. A total 254 were recruited, their blood samples collected interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaires provided between July October 2018. These captured data on sociodemographic characteristics symptoms disease. An individual with an average body temperature 37.3 ± 1.1 °C was considered be having fever. The...
Abstract Background Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of diarrheal disease in livestock and dogs, it can result significant economic losses due to decreased productivity higher treatment costs. The cryptosporidiosis burden dogs largely unknown underexploited. We designed cross-sectional research study determine the prevalence factors associated with dogs. Methods questionnaire data was downloaded from Kobotoolbox server excel format for cleaning analysis. Laboratory results were matched...
The occurrence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria such as Escherichia coli has increasingly become recognized beyond hospital settings. Resistance to other types antibiotics limits treatment options while the existence among humans, animals, and environment is suggestive potential zoonotic reverse-zoonotic transmission. This study aimed establish antibiotic susceptibility profiles ESBL-producing (ESBL-EC) from human, animal, environmental isolates obtained farming...
Abstract Background Globally, modern contraceptives remain underutilized among postpartum mothers resulting in the rise of short interpregnancy intervals. This is even severe low-income countries where health information access regarding such interventions limited, undermining their uptake. While there are a range other factors that can influence uptake services, understanding significance critical public programming. study sought to analyze maternal and facility influencing utilization...
