Molecular epidemiological of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli isolated in Djibouti

Abstract: Introduction: While the molecular epidemiology of extended-spectrum-b-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli is well known in Europe due to effective surveillance networks and substantial literature, data for Africa are less available, especially in Djibouti. Methodology: We studied 31 isolates of ESBL-producing E. coli from Djibouti and compared these molecular results with data available in Africa. Results: Susceptibility rates were 3.2% for ceftazidim, 48.4% for piperacillin-tazobactam, 90.3% for am… Show more

“…In Djibouti, resistance in Enterobacterales drastically increased from the abundance of beta-lactamases in the 1980s and 1990s [54][55][56] to ceftazidime susceptibility of less than 5% in a recent assessment associated with ESBL enzymes [57]. Interestingly, short therapy courses of infectious diarrhea with non-beta-lactam antibiotics such as azithromycin, levofloxacin, or rifaximin still show reliable therapeutic effects in this country [58]; 1 day therapy schemes do not even seem to be associated with considerable resistance selection [59].…”
