Antimicrobial susceptibility profile of from patients attending a medical laboratory, Institut Pasteur de Madagascar between 2014 and 2020: phenotypical and genomic characterisation in a subset of isolates.

Objectives: Antimicrobial-resistant (NG) is a concern. Little is known about antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and associated genetic resistance mechanisms of NG in Madagascar. We report susceptibility data of NG isolates obtained by the medical laboratory (CBC) of the Institut Pasteur de Madagascar, Antananarivo, Madagascar, during 2014-2020.

One Health compartment analysis of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli reveals multiple transmission events in a rural area of Madagascar.

Background: ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) is considered a key indicator for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) epidemiological surveillance in animal, human and environment compartments. There is likelihood of ESBL-Ec animal-human transmission but proof of cross-compartment transmission is still unclear.

Objectives: To characterize ESBL-Ec genetic similarity in various compartments (humans, animals and environment) from a rural area of Madagascar.

Prevalence and factors associated with faecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales among peripartum women in the community in Cambodia.

Background: In Southeast-Asia, where many conditions associated with dissemination of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) in the community are met, data from the community are scarce but show high ESBL-E carriage prevalence. Maternal ESBL-E colonization is considered a risk factor for neonatal colonization, which is the first step towards developing neonatal sepsis. Despite this, ESBL-E carriage prevalence and its risk factors during pregnancy or postpartum remain undefined in Southeast-Asia.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Chryseobacterium indologenes Strain Isolated from a Blood Culture of a Hospitalized Child in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

We report here the draft genome sequence of a strain, isolated from a blood culture of a 2.2-year-old child admitted to the hospital for vomiting and coughing. The genome was composed of 5,063,674 bp and had 37.

Genome-based insights into the resistomes and mobilomes of two Providencia rettgeri strains isolated from wound infections in Madagascar.

Objectives: A molecular analysis was performed of two Providencia rettgeri (P. rettgeri) strains (Pr 297 and Pr 269) collected in 2007 and 2009 from wound swabs of patients admitted to the intensive care units at Joseph Ravoangy Andrianavalona hospital and the Military Hospital in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

Methods: The two P.

Transmission Routes of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Neonatology Ward in Madagascar.

The diffusion of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (E-ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is a major concern worldwide, especially in low-income countries, where they may lead to therapeutic failures. In hospitals, where colonization is the highest, E-ESBL transmission is poorly understood, limiting the possibility of establishing effective control measures. We assessed E-ESBL-acquisition routes in a neonatalogy ward in Madagascar.
