High burden and genetic diversity of β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae causing community-acquired urinary tract infections in Southeastern Gabon.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The increasing prevalence of β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs) represents a growing public health challenge in low-resource settings. Data from Central Africa remain limited. This study investigated antimicrobial resistance profiles and phylogenetic diversity of these pathogens in southeastern Gabon. METHODS:...
