Quinolone Resistance (qnr) genes in fecal carriage of extended Spectrum beta-lactamases producing Enterobacteria isolated from children in Niger
Aissatou Moumouni, Serge Diagbouga, Christelle Nadembèga, A Metuor Dabire, Karim Ouattara, Théodora Zohoncon
Qnr genes are known to confer a low level resistance to fluoroquinolone in Enterobacteriaceae. Their presence with other antibiotic resistance mechanism as extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) on the same plasmid are common and can spread widely. This study aimed to detect the presence of qnr genes in ESBL-producing commensal Enterobacteriacea(...)

Group A human rotaviruses (RVA) are the most common causes of severe viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. The available vaccines, while effective in Europe and North America have shown a reduced efficacy in Africa. One issue raised is the genetic variability of RVA. The objective of this study was to perform a literat(...)

Developing reference criteria for the ecological status of West African rivers
Idrissa Kaboré, Otto Moog, Adama Ouéda, Jan Sendzimir, R. Ouédraogo, Wendengoudi Guenda, Andreas Melcher
Awareness of sustainable management of water and its biological resources is rising in West Africa, but application of effective tools for biomonitoring and detecting habitats at risk in aquatic ecosystems is limited. In this study, we provide key environmental descriptors to characterize reference sites by applying the following "a priori cri(...)

Phytotherapeutical implications in pain perception-focusing focusing on schizophrenia
Iulia Antioch, Alin Ciobica, Moussa Compaoré, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrebeogo, Harquin Foyet, Samson Guenné
La schizophrénie est une des maladies psychiatriques extrêmement complexe dans laquelle la perception de la douleur est modifiée, allant de l'abolition à l'absence de tout type de changement par rapport aux témoins normaux et même à l'hypersensibilité. Ainsi, la gestion du phénomène de la douleur dans la schizophrénie a des implications inconn(...)

Effect of mineral salts and nitrogen source on yeast (Candida utilis NOY1) biomass production using tubers wastes
Nicolas Ouédraogo, A. Savadogo, M. Somda, F. Tapsoba, C. Zongo, A. Traoré
The deficiency of protein in human food and animal feed is well recognized due to the rapid growth of population. It is therefore, important to increase protein production by utilizing all the available ways and means. In the light of this, an attempt was made in this study by selecting Candida utilis NOY1. This yeast was used to determine the(...)

Amoebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica. The diagnosis of amoebic infections, based on microscopic stool examination does not differentiate between E. histolytica and E. dispar, the commensal species because these two species are morphologically indistinguishable. The re-description of these species in 1993 and the(...)

Assessment of the impact of gas dryer bb equipment on the quality of kilichi a traditional dried beef
99. TIENDREBEOGO Stéphanie C. W., Hagrétou Sawadogo-Lingani, Donatien Kaboré, Serges SAMANDOULOUGOU, et Mamoudou H. DICKO
Kilichi is a dried beef meat product traditionally produced and consumed in Sahelian Africa. Difficulties in the production process of kilichi concern both the lack of quality control during its production, storage and the use of rudimentary equipment; consequently, the quality of kilichi is affected. It is therefore necessary to improve kilic(...)
