Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of specific bacteria linked to nosocomial infections in postmortem blood from stillbirths and children under five in Sierra Leone, as part of the CHAMPS program.
- Over the study period from March 2019 to February 2022, 367 bacterial isolates were analyzed, with findings revealing that one organism was most commonly isolated, followed by two others, highlighting significant resistance patterns.
- Results indicated a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms, particularly among the isolates, raising concerns about antimicrobial stewardship and the effectiveness of treatment options in the region.
