Researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology conducted a study in Burkina Faso to assess the occurrence of extended-spectrum b-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) and Klebsiella spp. in agricultural products. The study found a high prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria, including carbapenemase producers, in lettuce, environment, and gardeners' stools in market gardens. The researchers emphasized the importance of monitoring pathogens in agricultural products with a 'One Health' approach to prevent infections in the population. [Extracted from the article] |
