Phenotypic characterization and epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains from urinary tract infections in Garoua, Cameroon

Abstract excerpt

Background and objectives The emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) is causing increased morbidity and mortality around the world as a result of therapeutic failures. ESBL-E are priority pathogens due to their multidrug resistance (MDR). In Northern Cameroon, ESBL-producing bacteria, particularly in urinary tract infections (UTIs), are being increasingly isolated....
