“…In addition, the E. coli 1 and E. coli 2 strains were both resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin, and trimethoprim, whereas only E. coli 1 was resistant to cefazoline and ceftriaxone. This result is consistent with that obtained by various authors on the resistance of clinical strains to antibiotics [33][34][35]. The problem of antibiotic resistance exists worldwide and affects all sectors that use antibiotics [34].…”

“…This result is consistent with that obtained by various authors on the resistance of clinical strains to antibiotics [33][34][35]. The problem of antibiotic resistance exists worldwide and affects all sectors that use antibiotics [34]. Various means have been implemented in recent years to provide effective solutions to this problem, and the studies carried out target bacteria that are resistant or not.…”

“…The single ermT -positive isolate belonged to ST398, which corroborates the description of ermT as one of the markers defining the human clade of ST398 [40] . The average tetracycline resistance in these carriage isolates is lower than in clinical isolates from Cape Verde [41] as well as isolates from other countries of the region including São Tomé and Príncipe [41] , [42] , [43] . It should be noted that all our tetracycline resistance was detected in MSSA, which differs from the scenario in neighbouring countries [4] .…”

“…The mecA gene was detected in seven S. aureus isolates, of which four MRSA ST5-VI were recovered from HCWs, evidencing a recent transmission event and suggesting that HCWs could represent reservoirs of this MRSA lineage. A recent 5-year survey of susceptibility profiles in clinical S. aureus isolates in the two Cape Verde hospitals included in this work identified a significant increase of MRSA prevalence between 2013 and 2017, with most MRSA isolates being also erythromycin-resistant; however, the extent of MRSA ST5-VI clonal lineage could not be identified [41] . On the other hand, the apparent maintenance of erythromycin resistance suggests that this MRSA ST5-VI clonal lineage identified in carriage isolates could represent the precursor lineage for MRSA clones emerging in the clinical setting in Cape Verde.…”

“…12 The situation is further complicated by drug resistance in common pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and antibiotic-resistant infections are increasing globally at an alarming rate. 13 Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are estimated to cause at least 2 million infections and 23,000 deaths per year in the US, incurring costs of $55-70 billion. 14 Moreover, patients with infections associated with orthopaedic implants are reported to have worse clinical outcomes when the infection is caused by antibiotic-resistant compared to antibiotic-sensitive bacteria.…”
