Pre-extensively and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis prevalence among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis cases in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background The burden of pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (Pre-XDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) cases in Ethiopia has become one of the most challenging problems for monitoring the treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis...

Burden of fecal colonization with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing enterobacteriaceae among food handlers in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance particularly from extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) is a critical global public health threat, contributing significantly to infection-related mortality. The human intestinal tract is a key reservoir...

Fecal carriage of ESBL and Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and its associated factors among hospital and non-hospital janitors at the University of Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia: A comparative cross-sectional study

Background Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) pose a critical public health threat. Janitors are routinely exposed to contaminated environments and may act as a reservoir for these resistant bacteria, particularly in resou...
