Development of a PCR-dipstick DNA chromatography-based tool for the detection of CTX-M- and TEM-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients in Kafue and Katete districts of Zambia

Misheck Shawa, Kyoko Hayashida, Naganori Nao, Atmika Paudel et autres

In Zambia, 40% of clinical Gram-negative bacteria are either Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae , with a high third-generation cephalosporin (3GC) resistance prevalence. Therefore, 3GC resistance surveillance is a crucial indicator for guiding focused intervention policies. However, the lack of genotypic diagnostic …

Defining the bacterial microbiome of ticks in Chongwe and Chisamba Districts of Zambia

Malala Mulavu, Cynthia Sipho Khumalo, Lavel C. Moonga, Kyoko Hayashida et autres

The microbiome composition of an arthropod vector may impede the growth of some pathogens, aid colonisation by pathogens or affect vector behaviour in ways that impact transmission of pathogens. In Zambia, little is known of the microbial communities hosted by ticks and …

Antimicrobial Use Survey and Detection of ESBL-Escherichia coli in Commercial and Medium-/Small-Scale Poultry Farms in Selected Districts of Zambia

Taona Sinyawa, Misheck Shawa, Geoffrey Munkombwe Muuka, Fusya Y. Goma et autres

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Escherichia coli from food animals is a rising problem, and heavy antimicrobial use in poultry is a contributing factor. In Zambia, studies linking poultry-associated AMR and antibiotic use (AMU) are rare. This study aimed to investigate commercial and …

Molecular detection and phylogenetic characterization of Rickettsia in ticks collected from leopard tortoise (Geochelone pardalis) in rural Zambia

Cynthia Sipho Khumalo, Malala Mulavu, Katendi Changula, Benjamin Mubemba et autres

In sub-Saharan Africa, limited studies have investigated zoonotic pathogens that may be harboured by ticks infesting reptiles such as tortoises. Here, we report the presence of pathogenic Rickettsia in ticks (Amblyomma marmoreum) collected from the leopard tortoise (Geochelone pardalis) in rural Zambia. …

Current status and molecular epidemiology of rabies virus from different hosts and regions in Malawi

Henson Kainga, Elisha Chatanga, Marvin Collen Phonera, John Pilate Kothowa et autres

Although rabies is endemic in Malawi, there have been no studies in which rabies virus was systematically investigated and characterized in multiple animal hosts in that country. In order to provide molecular epidemiological data on rabies virus in Malawi, 683 suspected rabies …
