Emergence of extensively and pan-drug resistance in clinical bacterial isolates: A systematic scoping review from Ethiopian public health perspective
The emergence of XDR and PDR represents a major threat to Ethiopian public health, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospitalizations, high healthcare costs, and challenged treatment options. Urgent national surveillance and genomic detection of resistance mechanisms are needed to better track the spread of drug-resistant bacteria, promote antimicrobial stewardship, and enhance drug and vaccine trials.
