Several studies have been reported on the blaTEM, blaCTX-M and blaSHV genes in Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteria, however very few studies reported in the literature are related to blaBES in ESBL producing Enterobacteria. This study concerns the molecular epidemiology of the blaBES gene in Enterobacteria identified(...)

Resistance to a wide variety of common antibiotics is observed among clinical strains designated as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers. These produce enzymatic proteins that effectively inactivate cephalosporins and aztreonam and are a serious global health problem that complicates treatment strategies. Many studies report a high p(...)

Estimates of phenotypic diversity and genetic parameters of Hibiscus cannabinus L. grown in Burkina Faso
Nikodème V. KABRÉ, Boureima SAWADOGO, Mariam KIÉBRÉ, Zakaria KIÉBRÉ, Romaric K. NANEMA and Pauline BATIONO-KANDO
Hibiscus cannabinus is a traditional leafy-vegetable consumed more and more in Burkina Faso. Its
leaves and fruits are some good food supplement against nutritional deficiencies. Its fibers are also a source of
income for households. Despite of its nutritional an economic potential, this species is underdeveloped in
Burkina Faso. The study(...)

Wild and cultivated biomass supply chain for biofuel production. A comparative study in West Africa
Linda Dominique Fabiola Bambara, Marie Sawadogo. Daniel Roy, Joël Blin, Didier Anciaux, Salifou Koucka Ouiminga
Limited access to energy has led to interest in biofuels in most West African countries where jatropha curcas (Jatropha) has been the most widely studied energy crop. However, due to difficulties in obtaining enough jatropha seed at acceptable costs, Balanites aegyptiaca (B. aegyptiaca) could be an alternative feedstock for biofuel production(...)

IDOMEN: An Extension of Infectious Disease Ontology for MENingitis
W-P. R. C. Béré, G. Camara, S. Malo, M. Lo, S. Ouaro
In sub-Saharan African countries the prevention and control of epidemic diseases requires the improvement of the surveillance system for these diseases. Biomedical ontologies are a growing field that can improve health information systems. Indeed biomedical ontologies allow semantic support, data integration, automated reasoning. We are buildi(...)

Burkina Faso, management of breast cancer is still challenging due to usually late diagnosis. There are limited therapeutic choices and there are often complications making prognosis poor. The aim of the present was to describe the current clinical situation of breast cancer in women under 40 years old at Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital(...)

Liver retinol estimated by 13C-retinol isotope dilution at 7 versus 14 days in Burkinabe schoolchildren
Jean F Bationo , Augustin N Zeba , Nadine D Coulibaly , Jesse Sheftel , Christopher R Davis , Imael HN Bassole , Nicolas Barro , Jean B Ouedraogo and Sherry A Tanumihardjo
Vitamin A status assessment is not straightforward. Retinol isotope dilution (RID) testing requires time for the tracer dose to mix with the total body stores of vitamin A (TBS). Researchers are interested in shortening the time interval between tracer administration and follow-up blood draws, and in re-examining current assumptions about live(...)

Benjamin Fröhlich, Julia Jäger, Christine Lansche, Cecilia P. Sanchez, Marek Cyrklaff, Bernd Buchholz, Serge Théophile Soubeiga, Jacques Simporé, Hiroaki Ito, Ulrich S. Schwarz, Michael Lanzer, Motomu Tanaka
During intraerythrocytic development, the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum alters the mechanical deformability of its host cell. The underpinning biological processes involve gain in parasite mass, changes in the membrane protein compositions, reorganization of the cytoskeletons and its coupling to the plasma membrane, and formatio(...)

Moussa Bougouma, Bernard Nisol, Thomas Doneux, Boubié Guel, Tiriana Segato, François Reniers, Marie-Paule Delplancke-Ogletree, Jean B. Legma, Claudine Buess-Herman,
The growth of WSe2 single crystals, using TeCl4 as transport agent was performed successfully from slowly cooled polycrystalline powders as precursors. The resulting single crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their surfaces examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) presented fewer defects than single crystals prepar(...)
