Potent antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects of Uvaria chamae on Staphylococcus aureus strains via potential cell wall interference and lack of resistance induction
U. chamae root extract exhibits strong, selective antibacterial activity with low toxicity, no resistance induction, and in vivo efficacy. These findings support its potential as a locally relevant option to combat AMR in Africa
Ethnopharmacological insights into Uvaria chamae P.Beauv.
Background: Medicinal plants offer a promising avenue for the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to document the traditional knowledge and applications of Uvaria chamae P.Beauv. in the treatment of infectious diseases in Benin. Methods: An ethnopharmacological survey on practical knowledge of traditional medicine practitioners of U. chamae in Benin was conducted between June and July 2024, involving 45 traditional medicine …
Prevalence and characterization of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli in healthy pregnant women and hospital environments in Benin
Introduction Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are recognized as significant pathogens due to their resistance to multiple antibiotics. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) in different settings, including healthy pregnant women, the food chain, and the environment of tertiary hospitals in Benin. Methods Samples were collected from various sources, including f…
Assessment of blood cultures and antibiotic susceptibility testing for bacterial sepsis diagnosis and utilization of results by clinicians in Benin
Objectives We assessed the current status of blood culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) practices in clinical laboratories in Benin, and how the laboratory results are used by physicians to prescribe antibiotics. Methods The qualitative study covered twenty-five clinical laboratories with a bacteriology unit and associated hospitals and pharmacies. Altogether 159 laboratory staff, physicians and pharmacists were interviewed about t…
