Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food chain remains a global public health concern for both humans and animals. This study aimed to determine prevalence, profiles, clonal relatedness of multidrug-resistant (MDR) extended-spectrum β-lactamases- producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) isolated from slaughtered pigs slaughterhouse workers Yaoundé, Cameroon. A cross-sectional was conducted over four months, February May 2023 two selected pig's markets Yaoundé. Rectal swabs were collected 375...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a global health issue with multidimensional repercussions. There paucity of data regarding the molecular epidemiology multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales (MDR-E) and extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing (ESBL-PE) in Africa, especially among people living HIV (PLHIV). This study aimed at determining prevalence, risk factors, phenotypic genotypic profiles MDR-E ESBL-PE isolated from PLHIV Yaoundé, Cameroon.
The 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) report has listed extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) as critical pathogens for public health and requiring urgently new antibiotics. aim of this study was to characterize phenotypically genotypically ESBL-E isolated among clinical samples in Dschang, Cameroon.A cross-sectional conducted during a four-month periods from February May 2022 the two biggest hospitals Dschang. Clinical were collected cultured on Eosin...
The exacerbation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, there scarcity data regarding multidrug-resistant (resistance to at least one antibiotic three or more families antibiotics) as well extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE), isolated among clinical and asymptomatically healthy patients, especially in women living with HIV (WLHIV) despite their immunocompromised status. overarching aim this study was...
ABSTRACT Foodborne diseases (FBD) constitute a significant worldwide concern with both health and socioeconomic repercussions. FBD predominantly manifest gastrointestinal symptoms. Nevertheless, extraintestinal infections symptoms caused by foodborne pathogens are increasingly being reported worldwide. Furthermore, drug resistant bacteria causing intestinal extra-intestinal (EIFBD) has further exacerbated their burden. This review (i) summarizes the status of pathogens, (ii) delineates...
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) mediating resistance in Enterobacterales is a global public health issue, especially low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Cameroon. ESBL-producing reduce therapeutic options and lead to the use of last resort drugs carbapenems even vulnerable populations like children under five years. This study aims at determining phenotypic genotypic characteristics Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) isolated from years with without diarrhoea two care facilities...
ABSTRACT Background Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae rank among the primary bacterial culprits in neonatal infections fatalities sub-Saharan Africa. This study sought to characterize phenotypic genotypic features of a labour ward Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods A prospective cross-sectional spanning five months, from February 21 June 30, 2022. Recto-vaginal swabs were obtained expectant mothers, nasopharyngeal collected their babies. The samples cultured on eosin methylene blue agar...
