Emergence of New Delhi Metallo--Lactamase (NDM) Genes Detected from Clinical Strains of Isolated in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The emergence and spread of carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacilli such as , , , and through the production of carbapenemases is a global phenomenon. It threatens patient care and leads to therapeutic impasses. This study aims to genotypically determine the prevalence of the most frequent carbapenemase genes among multidrug-resistant strains isolated from patients at a biomedical analysis laboratory.

(GTG)-PCR fingerprinting of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli bacteria isolates from hospital in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most common bacterial species implicated in various types of infections including septicemia, gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, meningitis and others pathologies. These involve several bacterial clones with multidrug resistance making them difficult to treat.
