Abstract

Our study revealed a relatively high MDR-NFGNB prevalence rate in a Nigerien tertiary care hospital. These findings emphasise the need for vigilant antibiotic stewardship, with appropriate infection prevention and control practices to curb the emergence and spread of MDR-NFGNB infections in hospital settings.
