Carbapenem-resistant <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> at a hospital in Botswana: detecting a protracted outbreak using whole genome sequencing Open
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) has emerged as a major and often fatal cause of bloodstream infections among hospitalized patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). CRAb outbreaks are hypothesized to arise fr…

Temporal decreases in pathogen colonization and infection among hospitalized neonates following routine skin antisepsis with chlorhexidine gluconate: Botswana 2022 – 2023 Open
Background: Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a major cause of sepsis among hospitalized neonates globally. Aqueous chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) skin antisepsis has been shown to be safe for use in infants; however, its susta…

Characterizing the ESBL-Producing Enterobacterales Bioburden in a Neonatal Unit Using Chromogenic Culture Media: A Feasible and Efficient Environmental Sampling Method Open
Introduction: Infections due to extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) have emerged as the leading cause of sepsis among hospitalized neonates in Botswana and much of sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia. Yet, E…
