Epidemiology of Community Origin Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Uropathogenic Strains Resistant to Antibiotics in Franceville, Gabon Open
This study showed a high prevalence of urinary tract infections with a major implication of E.coli and K. pneumoniae strains. E. coli and K. pneumoniae presented high frequency of resistance to antibiotics, high…
View article: Phenotipic Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Gabon
Phenotipic Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Gabon Open
Background: The increasing phenomenon of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a real public health problem. The main causes are poor management of hygiene and water quality, but also the use of antibiotics without precaution. The objecti…
