One-Day Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) and Carbapenemase-Producing Bacteria in Fecal Samples from Surgical Patients: A Concerning Trend of Antibiotic Resistance
This study demonstrates, for the first time, a significant prevalence of ESBL and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacteria among surgical patients in Benin, with multiple resistance genes detected. Findings should be interpreted in light of the cross-sectional design and >48-hour hospitalization criterion.
