The landscape of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a mapping systematic review
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), one of the most malaria-affected countries worldwide, is a potential hub for global drug-resistant malaria. This study aimed at summarizing and mapping surveys of malaria ...
Animal sources of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections in humans: a systematic review
attribution studies, and three other studies. Most studies were published between 2012 and 2022, and most came from Europe and North America, but we also identified five articles from South and South-East Asia. ...
MRSA surveillance programmes worldwide: moving towards a harmonised international approach
Informing clinicians and national policy-makers were the most common purposes of surveillance. Surveillance of bloodstream infections (BSI s) was present in all programmes. Other invasive infections were ...
Genomic epidemiology of emerging ESBL-producing Kentucky in Europe.
this clone. We dated the origin of the clone to approximately 2005 in Northern Africa, most likely in Egypt. The geographic origin predicted by the phylogenetic analysis is consistent with the patients’ ...
