Article Synopsis
- Shigellosis is a significant public health issue in Ethiopia, especially affecting children under five, with high rates of antibiotic resistance reported.
- A study was conducted in Addis Ababa to analyze the antimicrobial characteristics of bacterial species from children with acute diarrhea, involving fecal sample collection and testing for antibiotic susceptibility.
- Results indicated a low prevalence of intestinal parasites but high resistance rates to common antibiotics like amoxicillin and erythromycin, raising concerns about treatment effectiveness and highlighting a significant public health challenge.
Purpose: Carbapenem-resistant species and are the leading cause of nosocomial infections. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and trends of carbapenem-resistant and species isolated from clinical specimens.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included data from Ethiopian Public Health Institute from 2017 to 2021.

January 2022
Spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria between humans and animals occurs when the environment is contaminated with animal and human wastes. A total of 30 samples were collected from the Akaki river to identify antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Bacterial enumeration and characterization was done by spreading serially diluted water samples on MacConkey agar.
