The epidemiology of ceftriaxone and cotrimoxazole-resistant Escherichia coli from humans, poultry, and their environment in central Malawi
The poultry industry represents an important reservoir for clinical antibiotic resistance, especially in low- and middle-income-countries where food security pressures drive intensified farming and antibiotic use. However, evidence linking poultry production to public health risks remains limited in settings such as Malawi. This study examined Escherichia coli resistance to ceftriaxone and cotrimoxazole, two antibiotics with distinct stewardship …
A baseline assessment of antimicrobial stewardship core element implementation in selected public hospitals in Malawi
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Malawi, frequent stockouts of essential medicines and the widespread dispensing of antibiotics without prescriptions have exacerbated the AMR burden, highlighting the urgent need for robust antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions. This study presents the first documented baseline assessment of AMS…
Determinants of cholera fatalities in Malawi
Malawi experienced its deadliest cholera outbreak in 2022, reporting over 50,000 cases and more than 1,700 deaths. This situation was further exacerbated by the Tropical Cyclone Freddy, which caused widespread damage to health infrastructure and strained Malawi’s limited healthcare resources. Despite the scale of the outbreak, no evaluations were conducted to identify risk factors associated with cholera-related mortality among hospitalized indiv…
