Description
Oluwatoyin Famojuro and co-authors check drug-resistant germs in samples from a Nigerian teaching hospital in a study from 2024. Some bacteria make enzymes called ESBLs that break down key antibiotics. The study used high vaginal swabs from women with genital tract infections.
Women aged eighteen to fifty took part, both pregnant and not. None had taken antimicrobials in the prior two weeks. Bacteria grew in about four of five samples in each group. The team tested which drugs still worked on each isolate. They also checked how often ESBL genes appeared in the Gram-negative germs. Local data like this guide drug choice where resistance is rising fast.
