Molecular Characterization and the Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of spp. Isolated from Ready-to-Eat Foods in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The emergence of antimicrobial-resistantfood-borne bacteria is a great challenge to public health. This study was conducted to characterize and determine the resistance profile of Salmonella strains isolated from foods including sesames, ready-to-eat (RTE) salads, mango juices, and lettuce in Burkina Faso. One hundred and forty-eight biochemically identified Salmonella isolates were characterized by molecular amplification of Salmonella marker and , , , and virulence genes.

Evaluation of the acceptance and efficacy of a bespoke sun protection package for persons with oculocutaneous albinism living in Malawi.

Introduction: Skin cancer is the main cause of death in persons with albinism (PWA) in Africa. Education would minimize sun damage.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and acceptance of a photoprotection educative and sunscreen (Umozi Max) package designed for PWA in reducing sunburns and skin cancer.
