Background: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), plasmid-mediated AmpC-β-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae have spread into the environment worldwide posing a potential public health threat. However, the prevalence data for low- and middle-income countries are still scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of ESBL, AmpC-β-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing and multidrug-resistant E.

- The study investigates the prevalence of malaria and sexually transmitted/reproductive tract infections (STI/RTI) among pregnant women in rural Burkina Faso, aiming to identify efficient interventions for better pregnancy outcomes.
- It includes a survey of 402 pregnant women attending clinics, testing for malaria and various STIs, revealing a 12.9% rate of malaria alongside at least one STI/RTI coinfection, with bacterial vaginosis being the most common coinfection.
- The findings indicate that only 10% of these coinfections showed symptoms, suggesting a significant number of cases would go undetected with symptom-based screening methods, highlighting the need for more effective diagnostic approaches in antenatal care.
