Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant organisms can spread to humans via drinking water in Africa, but there’s limited information on the extent of this issue.
- A systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines analyzed 40 studies from 12 African countries, focusing on how these organisms spread through drinking water until June 2023.
- The review found that most studies used phenotypic tests, revealing a low level of antibiotic resistance, but identified certain water sources with multidrug-resistant bacteria, indicating a need for better monitoring and surveillance of antibiotic resistance in drinking water.

Carbapenems are effective drugs against bacterial pathogens and resistance to them is considered a great public health threat, especially in notorious nosocomial pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii and P.
