Multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing isolated from slaughtered pigs and slaughterhouse workers in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food chain remains a global public health concern for both humans and animals. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, resistance profiles, and clonal relatedness of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum β-lactamases- producing (ESBL-) isolated from slaughtered pigs and slaughterhouse workers in Yaoundé, Cameroon. A cross-sectional study was conducted over four months, from February to May 2023 in two selected pig's slaughterhouse markets in Yaoundé.

High prevalence and genetic diversity of multidrug-resistant and extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in mothers and neonates in a Cameroonian labor ward.

Background: Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae rank among the primary bacterial culprits in neonatal infections and fatalities in sub-Saharan Africa. This study characterized the phenotypic and genotypic features of E coli and K pneumoniae in a labor ward in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Methods: A prospective and cross-sectional study spanning 5months, from February 21, 2022 to June 30, 2022.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of multidrug resistant and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales isolated from clinical samples in the western region in Cameroon.

Background: The 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) report has listed extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) as critical pathogens for public health and requiring urgently new antibiotics. The aim of this study was to characterize phenotypically and genotypically ESBL-E isolated among clinical samples in Dschang, Cameroon.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during a four-month periods from February to May 2022 in the two biggest hospitals of Dschang.

Faecal carriage of multidrug-resistant and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales in people living with HIV in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Objectives: Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a global health issue with multidimensional repercussions. There is a paucity of data regarding the molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales (MDR-E) and extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) in Africa, especially among people living with HIV (PLHIV). This study aimed at determining the prevalence, risk factors, phenotypic and genotypic profiles of MDR-E and ESBL-PE isolated from PLHIV in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Multidrug-Resistant and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) - Producing Isolated from Carriage Samples among HIV Infected Women in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

The exacerbation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, there is a scarcity of data regarding multidrug-resistant (resistance to at least one antibiotic of three or more families of antibiotics) as well as extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL-PE), isolated among clinical and asymptomatically healthy patients, especially in women living with HIV (WLHIV) despite their immunocompromised status. The overarching aim of this study was set to determine the prevalence and characterize genotypically multi-drug resistant (MDR-E) and ESBL- PE isolated from vaginal swabs of WLHIV attending the Yaoundé Central Hospital, Yaoundé, Cameroon.
