Assessing the risk of exposure to antimicrobial resistance at public beaches: Genome-based insights into the resistomes, mobilomes and virulomes of beta-lactams resistant Enterobacteriaceae from recreational beaches in Lagos, Nigeria.

The role of recreational water use in the acquisition and transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is under-explored in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We used whole genome sequence analysis to provide insights into the resistomes, mobilomes and virulomes of 14 beta-lactams resistant Enterobacterales isolated from water and wet-sand at four recreational beaches in Lagos, Nigeria. Carriage of multiple beta-lactamase genes was detected in all isolates except two, including six isolates carrying bla.

Addressing missed opportunities for cervical cancer screening in Nigeria: a nursing workforce approach.

Cervical cancer is the commonest gynaecological cancer affecting women, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite the availability of evidence on multiple prevention pathways, including vaccination and screening, the cervical cancer burden continues to increase, especially in LMICs. This disease typifies health inequality as more than 85% of related morbidity and mortality occur among women of low socio-economic status residing in developing countries.

Factors influencing cervical cancer screening practice among female health workers in Nigeria: A systematic review.

Background: Cervical cancer is the most prevalent gynaecologic cancer in Nigeria. Despite being largely preventable through screening, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. To reduce the burden of cervical cancer in Nigeria, female health workers (FHWs) are expected to play an influential role in leading screening uptake and promoting access to cervical cancer education and screening.
