Objectives The widespread intestinal carriage of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL E.
coli) among both patients and healthy individuals is alarming. However, the global …

Introduction Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) has
been found all over the world, and risk factors for acquiring these bacteria involve hospital …

Background Nothing is known about the epidemiology and resistance mechanisms of
extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) in Burkina Faso …

Antibacterial resistance–associated infections are known to increase morbidity, mortality,
and cost of treatment, and to potentially put others in the community at higher risk of …

Background A high proportion of Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing
Enterobacteriaceae is causing common infections in all regions of the world. The burden of …

We investigated the gastrointestinal colonization rate and antibiotic resistance patterns of
Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella …

Background Extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE)
represent a major problem in the management of nosocomial infections. However, ESBL-PE …

Background Nosocomial infections pose substantial risk to patients receiving care in
hospitals. In Africa, this problem is aggravated by inadequate infection control due to poor …

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and
carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are widespread. Here we used the …

Background The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) present a
challenge to disease control in East Africa. Resistance to beta-lactams, which are by far the …
