Alarming Rates of Antibiotic Resistance Among Organisms Causing Post-Cesarean Section Peritonitis in Rwanda

  01 March 2024

A study at the University Teaching Hospital Kigali in Rwanda found that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health threat, particularly in developing countries. The study found that 76% of patients with post-partum infections, such as abdominal sepsis, had gram-negative bacterial isolates, with resistance rates ranging from 88% to 63%. This could lead to increased morbidity and mortality in this high-risk population. Understanding resistance patterns can help tailor initial therapy for these patients.
