An infection is said to be nosocomial or hospital if it is absent when the patient enters the hospital and it appears and develops at least 48 h late. The objective of this study was to determine the resistance phenotypes of bacteria isolated from nosocomial infections at the University Teaching Hospital of Point G. Urine, blood, pus, skin and bronchoalveolar fluid samples were taken in different units, and bacteria isolations were performed on usual selective media such as Drigalski Colombia agar supplemented with nalidixic acid and colistin and 5% sheep blood and chocolate agar.

- Carbapenem resistance is a significant concern, particularly regarding NDM-producing enterobacterial strains in West Africa.
- This study focused on identifying carbapenemase-producing clinical strains from Bamako Teaching Hospital in Mali, examining 50 isolates collected over a few months in 2016.
- The research successfully identified the first instance of NDM-5 in Mali, revealing a new strain type (ST448) associated with a specific plasmid (IncX3).
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to determine the wastewaters antibiotic residues concentration in two hospitals (CHU Point G and CHU Luxembourg) in Bamako.
Methods: The samples of wastewater were collected three times consecutively on three days every week at 9 a.m.
The worldwide dissemination of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae, (ESBL-E) and their subset producing carbapenemases (CPE), is alarming. Limited data on the prevalence of such strains in infections from patients from Sub-Saharan Africa are currently available. We determined, here, the prevalence of ESBL-E/CPE in bacteriemic patients in two teaching hospitals from Bamako (Mali), which are at the top of the health care pyramid in the country.

This study sought to determine ESBL frequency in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from patients' blood cultures in two university teaching hospitals of Bamako, Mali.
Methodology: During a three-month period, the presence of Enterobacteriaceae from blood cultures of patients admitted to the university teaching hospitals of Bamako was evaluated.
