  • Leveraging disease outbreak news to strengthen the global response to antimicrobial resistance

    Open AccessReuben Kiggundu, J P Waswa et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global health threat, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bearing the greatest burden as healthcare facilities become breeding grounds for resistant pathogens, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and straining of already limited resources. The World Health Organization’s Disease Outbreak News (DONs) has proven invaluable for early warnings and coordinated responses to infectious dis…

  • Implementing the 7-1-7 target to improve epidemic preparedness and response in Uganda

    Open AccessLydia Nakiire, Aaron F Bochner et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Early and effective response actions are vital to mitigate outbreaks and other public health events. The 7-1-7 target (7 days to detect, 1 day to notify and 7 days to complete early response actions) is a performance improvement approach for epidemic preparedness. 7-1-7 data were collected by rapid response teams and presented to stakeholders at National Task Force (NTF) meetings, Uganda’s primary outbreak coordination platform, in the days immed…

  • Prevalence and factors associated with multidrug resistant Escherichia coli carriage on chicken farms in west Nile region in Uganda

    Open AccessCeaser Adibaku Nyolimati, Jonathan Mayito et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Infections with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in food-animals threaten public health and food security. However, the epidemiology and factors associated with MDR Escherichia coli (MDR E . coli ) on Ugandan farms are not well known. This study investigated the prevalence, resistance patterns and factors associated with MDR E . coli carriage on chicken farms. Escherichia coli was isolated from each of the 158 chicken farms sampled. The disc …

  • Prevalence, resistance profiles and factors associated with skin and soft-tissue infections at Jinja regional referral hospital

    Open AccessFahad Lwigale, Daniel Kibombo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTI) are common cases of hospital-acquired infections with aetiological agents exhibiting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This is a global public health predicament responsible for a high burden of infectious diseases and threatens the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in Low- and Middle-Income countries (LMICs). This study determined the prevalence of SSTI, proportion of laboratory-…
