Introduction

The bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming a serious concern in developing countries due to precarious hygiene conditions, inappropriate prescription as well as self-medication and free sale of antibiotics.

The general objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of strains producing ESBL in the BGN isolated in the CHUP-CDG laboratory.

Methods

It is a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted from 1 May to 12 August 2014.

The study was conducted in the Charles De Gaulle paediatric University Hospital (Ouagadougou) and the Arnaud de Villeneuve CHRU (Montpellier).

Results

Out of the 889 pathological substances analysed, 175 germs have been isolated among which 110 BGN which equal 62.8%. 48.2% of our BGN are ESBL +.

Among the 110 BGN we isolated 101 EB and 9 other BGN. No ESBL was found in the other BGN and 52.5% of EB were ESBL +. As for the ESBL Phenotype, according to the species/gender 60.4% of ESBL were E coli and 32% were K pneumoniae.

50.9% of ESBL came from Pus against 41.5% from Urine.

In addition, 64.6% of hospitalised patients had an ESBL+ phenotype against 24.5% for out-patients.

Conclusion

The results show the importance of the phenomenon and should help to better care this scourge because antibiotics despite everything, always save millions of lives.
