Article Synopsis
- Salmonella and Shigella infections are significant waterborne illnesses affecting children under five, with antimicrobial resistance complicating treatment efforts.
- A study conducted at Lodwar County and Referral Hospital analyzed 196 children with diarrhea using rectal swabs to identify these infections and assess antibiotic resistance patterns.
- Findings revealed that a high percentage of isolated strains showed resistance to common antibiotics like Amoxiclav and Ampicillin, while some antibiotics like Amikacin and Ciprofloxacin remained effective against these pathogens.
