One Health Approach to Study the Occurrence and Antimicrobial Resistance of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase- and Carbapenemase-Producing and spp. in Urban Agriculture in Burkina Faso.

Data on antimicrobial resistance in Burkina Faso's agricultural sector is still limited. This study assessed the occurrence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL-) and spp. (ESBL-) in lettuce, environment, and gardeners' stools in market gardens in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Characterization of virulence factors of Salmonella isolated from human stools and street food in urban areas of Burkina Faso.

Background: This study was undertaken to identify and functionally characterize virulence genes from Salmonella isolates in street food and stool cultures. From February 2017 to May 2018, clinical and food Salmonella strains were isolated in three regions in Burkina Faso. Salmonella was serotyped according to the White-Kauffmann-Le Minor method, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detec invA, spvR, spvC, fimA and stn virulence genes commonly associated with salmonellosis in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Assessment of the sanitary quality of ready to eat sesame, a low moisture street food from Burkina Faso.

Background: Microbial contamination of edible low moisture food poses a significant public health risk for human. In this study, the microbial quality of sweet dehulled sesame seed croquettes, salted dehulled sesame seed and the raw sesame seed, sold under ambient conditions were examined. The samples were collected in the cities of Burkina Faso.

Contamination of street food with multidrug-resistant Salmonella, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Background: Gastrointestinal infections are a global public health problem. In Burkina Faso, West Africa, exposure to Salmonella through the consumption of unhygienic street food represents a major risk of infection requiring detailed evaluation.

Methods: Between June 2017 and July 2018, we sampled 201 street food stalls, in 11 geographic sectors of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
