Introduction: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the persistent lack of access and high inappropriate use of antibiotics, which are fuelled by gender-related factors, continue to facilitate antimicrobial resistance. This in turn reduces the capacity to treat infectious diseases. However, there is a lack of clarity on the nature and extent of the available evidence on gender influence on access to antibiotics and antibiotic use behaviour.

- * Stool samples from 167 diarrhoea cases and 334 control children were analyzed, revealing DEC strains present in a higher percentage of sick children, especially during the wet season, and linked to factors like caregiver education and breastfeeding practices.
- * The DEC showed high resistance to common antibiotics like sulphonamides and ampicillin, but were mostly susceptible to quinolones and carbapenems, stressing the need for better education and healthcare practices to curb these infections.
Background: African contribution to global research output is said to be low. Poor funding and poor skills in grant writing have been suggested as important factors for this situation.
Objectives: Applications for research ethics clearance in a hospital were reviewed to have an overview of the planned studies and the proportion of them that attracted national and international funding.
Introduction: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria complicate treatment options in neonatal sepsis, especially in developing countries. This study determined the epidemiology and bacteriological characteristics of neonatal sepsis at a tertiary hospital, in southwest Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study from December 2017 to April 2019 among admitted babies with clinical neonatal sepsis.
