Isolation and Characterization of Environmental Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing and from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat. Quality data are needed to address the rise of multidrug-resistant clones, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we analysed the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance profile, and presence of genes encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL-) and (ESBL-) in environmental samples from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Genomics of human and chicken Salmonella isolates in Senegal: Broilers as a source of antimicrobial resistance and potentially invasive nontyphoidal salmonellosis infections.

Salmonella enterica is the most common foodborne pathogen worldwide. It causes two types of diseases, a self-limiting gastroenteritis and an invasive, more threatening, infection. Salmonella gastroenteritis is caused by several serotypes and is common worldwide.

The Competitiveness of Beef Exports From Burkina Faso to Ghana.

Despite large volumes of cattle stocks in the Sahel, most exports of cattle products remain as live animal sales rather than meat. However, there is increased interest amongst donors and governments to increase value-added exports of beef. In this paper, we provide results from a simulation analysis that explores the prospective competitiveness and benefits of exporting beef from Burkina Faso to Ghana rather than live animals.

[Post-traumatic dehiscence after corneal graft at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Aristide Le Dantec Hospital in Dakar].

Post-traumatic dehiscence is a rare condition often compromising the visual outcome of transplanted patients. It can occur after transfixing keratoplasty even after low-energy trauma. We here report two cases of patients with a history of keratoplasty, admitted to the hospital with painful red eye due to trauma.
