Antibiogram of Clinical Isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species Producing Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL)

Ovia, K. N*, Ibiam, U, Okoh, N, Okafor, C. O, Eronmosele, B. O, Okoroafor, I, Ejikeugwu, C

The public health threat posed by bacteria producing extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) is increasingly contributing to the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which is slowly ushering in a post antibiotic era – where no antibiotic is likely to work. AMR is a global health threat that warrant urgent steps to mitigate its growing...

Ejikeugwu, C*, Onele, S, Okonkwo, E, Onu E. N, Afiukwa, N, Nwakaeze, E., Udu, Ibiam, O., Iroha, C.,, Edeh, C., Iroha, I.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a current health menace that strikes at the core of infectious disease control, and has potential to affect every aspect of healthcare systems, as well as impact the food chain in terms of the evolution and transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria of public health risk. This study investigated antimicrobial dr...
