Draft genome sequence of strain MUWRP1017 isolated from the pus of a female inpatient at Bwera General Hospital in Uganda.

The bacterium , with a genome size of 3.4 Mb, was isolated from a pus swab of a wound on the left lower limb above the ankle joint of a female patient. This strain carries the antimicrobial resistance genes cephalosporinase , oxallinase , , and and other resistance and virulence genes.

Draft genome sequence of strain MUWRP0921, isolated from the urine of an adult female Ugandan.

bacteria are pathogenic among immune-compromised individuals. A strain (MUWRP0921) of with a genome of 2,708,354 bp was isolated from Uganda and carries genes that are associated with antibiotic resistance, including resistance to macrolides () and )), aminoglycosides ()), tetracyclines ()), and trimethoprim ().

Genome Analysis of Reveals International High-Risk Pandemic MDR Clones Emerging in Tertiary Healthcare Settings in Uganda.

is a threat to public health due to its continued evolution. In this study, we investigated the evolution, convergence, and transmission of hypervirulent and multi-drug resistant (MDR) clones of within healthcare facilities in Uganda. There was high resistance to piperacillin (90.

Resistome and virulome of high-risk pandemic clones of multidrug-resistant extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) isolated from tertiary healthcare settings in Uganda.

Multi-drug resistant (MDR) globally disseminated extraintestinal pathogenic high-risk Escherichia coli (ExPEC) clones are threatening the gains in bacterial disease management. In this study, we evaluated the genomic structure including the resistome and virulome of the E. coli isolates from extraintestinal infections using whole genome sequencing (WGS).

Genome Sequence Analysis of a Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica Strain Isolated from a Septic Wound of a Hospitalized Patient in Uganda.

We report a genome sequence of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica strain MUWRP0946, isolated from a hospitalized patient in Uganda. The genome size was 2.08 million bases, and the genome completeness was 94.

HIV viral load suppression following intensive adherence counseling among people living with HIV on treatment at military-managed health facilities in Uganda.

Background: Uniformed service personnel have an increased risk of poor viral load suppression (VLS). This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of interventions to improve VLS in the 28 military health facilities in Uganda.

Methods: This operational research was conducted between October 2018 and September 2019, among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the 28 health facilities managed by the military in Uganda.

Feasibility of collecting and processing of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for treatment of COVID-19 in Uganda.

Introduction: Evidence that supports the use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) for treatment of COVID-19 is increasingly emerging. However, very few African countries have undertaken the collection and processing of CCP. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of collecting and processing of CCP, in preparation for a randomized clinical trial of CCP for treatment of COVID-19 in Uganda.

Factors influencing cigarette smoking among soldiers and costs of soldier smoking in the work place at Kakiri Barracks, Uganda.

Background: Although Uganda has a relatively low prevalence of smoking, no data exists on cigarette use among military personnel. Studies in other countries suggests military service is a risk factor for tobacco use.

Objectives: To assess prevalence and risk factors for and costs of smoking among military personnel assigned to a large military facility in Uganda.
