Reduced susceptibility to carbapenems in and antimicrobial resistance profile of strains isolated from clinical and zoonotic sources in the Bamenda Municipality, Cameroon.

Introduction: food-producing animals harbour pathogenic and antibiotic resistant bacteria which can be transmitted to humans. Resistance to carbapenems may complicate treatment resulting to debilitating consequences. This study aimed at determining the susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae to carbapenems and to compare the resistant patterns of E.
