Incidence and antimicrobial resistance of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica in stool samples from children under five in peri-urban Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
This study demonstrates a substantial burden of NTS infections in children under five in peri-urban Burkina Faso. Although MDR prevalence was low, high tetracycline resistance indicates widespread circulation of resistant strains. Continuous AMR surveillance is essential to guide treatment and preserve antibiotic efficacy.
