High prevalence of antibiotic resistant Campylobacter among patients attending clinical settings in Kigali, Rwanda
The prevalence of campylobacteriosis in Kigali City is not negligible and is associated with diarrhea. Campylobacter strains isolated from clinical settings were resistant to commonly used antimicrobials. Larger studies will provide insights into the national status of Campylobacter-related AMR. Routine monitoring of antimicrobial use is recommended to mitigate this public health threat. Molecular analyses of resistant strains are warranted to characterize the genomic drive of antibiotic resistance.
