Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria are an increasingly significant clinical threat
globally. This risk may be underestimated in Kenya as only four carbapenemase genes in …

Background The increase and spread of virulent-outbreak associated, methicillin and
vancomycin resistant (MRSA/VRSA) Staphylococcus aureus require a better understanding of the …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. It can
produce a range of debilitating infections, have a propensity for developing antimicrobial …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a globally significant opportunistic pathogen causing healthcare-associated

resistance and their ability to cause severe infections due to an arsenal of virulence genes. Few …

Introduction Clostridioides difficile is a neglected pathogen in many African countries as it is
generally not regarded as one of the major contributors toward the diarrheal disease burden …

Microbial monitoring of hospital surfaces can help identify target areas for improved infection
prevention and control (IPCs). This study aimed to determine the levels and variations in …
