Opening Pandora’s box: high level resistance to antibiotics of last resort in Gram negative bacteria from Nigeria

2018-06-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem but information about the prevalence and mechanisms of resistance in sub-Saharan Africa are lacking. We determined the percentage of drug resistant isolates and resistance mechanisms in 307 Gram negative isolates randomly collected from south western Nigeria. Susceptibility testing revealed 78.1%, 92.2% and 52.6% of all isolates were resistant t...
