A Multicountry Molecular Analysis of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi With Reduced Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Al-Emran, HM; Ali, M; Baker, S; Biggs, HM; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Breiman, RF; Clemens, JD; ... (41 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)

BACKGROUND: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is a predominant cause of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Increasing numbers of S. Typhi with resistance to ciprofloxacin have been reported from different ...

Bloodstream Infections and Frequency of Pretreatment Associated With Age and Hospitalization Status in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Aaby, P; Ahmed El Tayeb, M; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Breiman, RF; ... (45 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2015-11-01)

BACKGROUND: The clinical diagnosis of bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) in sub-Saharan Africa is routinely confused with malaria due to overlapping symptoms. The Typhoid Surveillance in Africa Program (TSAP) recruited ...

The Relationship Between Invasive Nontyphoidal Salmonella Disease, Other Bacterial Bloodstream Infections, and Malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Ahmet Niang, A; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Biggs, HM; ... (45 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)

BACKGROUND: Country-specific studies in Africa have indicated that Plasmodium falciparum is associated with invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease. We conducted a multicenter study in 13 sites in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, ...

The Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program (TSAP): Clinical, Diagnostic, and Epidemiological Methodologies.

Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Breiman, RF; ... (32 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)

BACKGROUND: New immunization programs are dependent on data from surveillance networks and disease burden estimates to prioritize target areas and risk groups. Data regarding invasive Salmonella disease in sub-Saharan Africa ...

Utilization of Healthcare in the Typhoid Fever Surveillance in Africa Program.

Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Ali, M; Aseffa, A; Baker, S; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Crump, John Andrew; ... (33 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)

BACKGROUND: Assessing healthcare utilization is important to identify weaknesses of healthcare systems, to outline action points for preventive measures and interventions, and to more accurately estimate the disease burden ...

Validation and Identification of Invasive Salmonella Serotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Aaby, P; Adu-Sarkodie, Y; Al-Emran, HM; Ali, M; Bjerregaard-Andersen, M; Crump, John Andrew; Cruz Espinoza, LM; ... (36 authors) (Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa; however, serotyping is rarely performed. We validated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction ...
