  • Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance 1990–2021

    Open AccessMohsen Naghavi, Stein Emil Vollset et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an important global health challenge in the 21st century. A previous study has quantified the global and regional burden of AMR for 2019, followed with additional publications that provided more detailed estimates for several WHO regions by country. To date, there have been no studies that produce comprehensive estimates of AMR burden across locations that encompass historical trends and future for…

  • Aetiology and Potential Animal Exposure in Central Nervous System Infections in Vietnam

    Open AccessHannah Brindle, Behzad Nadjm et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2022

    An estimated 73% of emerging infections are zoonotic in origin, with animal contact and encroachment on their habitats increasing the risk of spill-over events. In Vietnam, close exposure to a wide range of animals and animal products can lead to acquisition of zoonotic pathogens, a number of which cause central nervous system (CNS) infections. However, studies show the aetiology of CNS infections remains unknown in around half of cases. We used …

  • Comparative Performance Testing of Respirator versus Surgical Mask Using a Water Droplet Spray Model

    Open AccessPaul T J Scheepers, Heiman Wertheim et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    A safe, fast and very sensitive test method was developed to assess the effectiveness of RPE by comparison under controlled conditions

  • Determinants of Inappropriate Antibiotics Use in Rural Central Ghana Using a Mixed Methods Approach

    Open AccessSamuel Afari-Asiedu, Felix Boakye Oppong et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Background: The consequences of antibiotic resistance are projected to be most severe in low and middle income countries (LMIC) with high infectious disease burden. This study examined determinants of inappropriate antibiotic use at the community level in rural Ghana. Methods: An observational study involving qualitative and quantitative methods was conducted between July, 2016 and September, 2018 in Ghana. Two household surveys were conducted at…

  • Every medicine is medicine; exploring inappropriate antibiotic use at the community level in rural Ghana

    Open AccessSamuel Afari-Asiedu, Marlies Hulscher et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Inappropriate antibiotic use were influenced by general lack of knowledge on antibiotics and identification of antibiotics by colours of capsules which leads to confusion and could lead to inappropriate antibiotic use. There is the need for public health education on appropriate antibiotic use and standardization of appearance of antibiotics and other drugs to optimize use

  • Active contact tracing beyond the household in multidrug resistant tuberculosis in Vietnam

    Open AccessHoàng Thị Thanh Thủy, Thi Thanh Thuy Hoang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    No new MDR-TB cases were detected using social network analysis of nearly 100 MDR-TB index cases, likely due to a relatively short follow up time, and loss to follow up (lack of cooperation from contacts or high risk places and lack of available resources in the National Tuberculosis Control Programme)

  • Monitoring Antibiotic Use and Residue in Freshwater Aquaculture for Domestic Use in Vietnam

    Open AccessDang Kim Pham, Đăng Phạm Kim et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2015

    Vietnam is an important producer of aquaculture products, and aquatic products are essential to the Vietnamese diet. However, Vietnam also has very little enforced regulation pertaining to antibiotic usage in domestic aquaculture, which raises concerns for antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. In this study, analysis was conducted on the presence of antibiotic residues in domestically sold fish and shrimp raised in freshwater farms in Vie…

  • Challenges in detection and treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis patients in Vietnam

    Open AccessHoàng Thị Thanh Thủy, Thuy Thi Thanh Hoang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The proportion of MDR-TB patients diagnosed and enrolled for second-line treatment is less than 20 % of the estimated total. The low enrollment is largely due to the fact that many patients at risk are missed for MDR-TB screening. In order to detect more MDR-TB cases, Vietnam should intensify case finding of MDR-TB by a comprehensive strategy to screen for MDR-TB among new cases rather than targeting previously treated cases, in particular those …

  • Antibiotic resistance—the need for global solutions
