Description
Yahaya Yaqub and coauthors report a 2026 snapshot study of rectal carriage of long-spectrum beta-lactam-making gut germs among ward patients at a northern Nigeria top hospital in 2017. The team surveyed risk factors by survey and grown rectal swabs, reading carriage with multiple math models.
Carriage reached a striking 87.5 percent of 168 patients. Big risks were hospital stay, any drug use, and beta-lactam use outside Nigeria, while prior stay outside Nigeria looked shielding. The pre-COVID snapshot warns policy chiefs that fight-back carriage runs very high, needing local fixes in low-resource settings.
