  • Bacterial profile among patients with suspected bloodstream infections in Ethiopia : a systematic review and meta-analysis 
    Alemnew, Birhan; Biazin, Habtamu; Demis, Asmamaw; Reta, Melese Abate (Hindawi, 2020-09)
    The burden of bloodstream infections (BSIs) has been warranted in Ethiopia. Globally, the emergency and raised resistance rate of bacterial antimicrobial resistance is becoming a prominent problem, and it is difficult to ...
  • Drug resistant tuberculosis in Africa : current status, gaps and opportunities 
    Ismail, Nazir Ahmed; Ismail, Farzana; Omar, Shaheed Vally; Blows, Linsay; Gardee, Yasmin; Koornhof, Hendrik; Onyebujoh, Philip C. (AOSIS Open Journals, 2018-12-06)
    BACKGROUND : The World Health Organization End TB Strategy targets for 2035 are ambitious and drug resistant tuberculosis is an important barrier, particularly in Africa, home to over a billion people. OBJECTIVE : We ...
  • Genetic relatedness of Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from cystic fibrosis patients at a tertiary academic hospital in Pretoria, South Africa 
    Goolam Mahomed, Tanweer; Kock, Martha Magdalena; Masekela, R.; Hoosien, E.; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-08-15)
    Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited recessive disease that affects mucocillary clearance in the lung, allowing it to be colonised with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. To survive in the CF lung S. aureus adapts ...
  • Genetic sequencing for surveillance of drug resistance in tuberculosis in highly endemic countries: a multi-country population-based surveillance study 
    Zignol, Matteo; Cabibbe, Andrea Maurizio; Dean, Anna S.; Glaziou, Philippe; Alikhanova, Natavan; Ama, Cecilia; Andres, Sonke; Barbova, Anna; Borbe-Reyes, Angeli; Chin, Daniel P.; Cirillo, Daniela Maria; Colvin, Charlotte; Dadu, Andrei; Dreyer, Andries; Driesen, Michele; Gilpin, Christopher; Hasan, Rumina; Hasan, Zahra; Hoffner, Sven; Hussain, Alamdar; Ismail, Nazir Ahmed; Kamal, S.M.

(Elsevier, 2018-06)
    BACKGROUND : In many countries, regular monitoring of the emergence of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs is hampered by the limitations of phenotypic testing for drug susceptibility. We therefore evaluated the use ...
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 with blaOXA-181, South Africa, 2014–2016 
    Lowe, Michelle; Kock, Marleen M.; Coetzee, Jennifer; Hoosien, Ebrahim; Peirano, Gisele; Strydom, Kathy-Anne; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen; Mbelle, Nontombi Marylucy; Shashkina, Elena; Haslam, David B.; Dhawan, Puneet; Donnelly, Robert J.; Chen, Liang; Kreiswirth, Barry N.; Pitout, Johann D.D. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019-04)
    Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 307 is an emerging global antimicrobial drug–resistant clone. We used whole-genome sequencing and PCR to characterize K. pneumoniae ST307 with oxacillinase (OXA) 181 carbapenemase ...
