Bacteriological profile and antimicrobial resistance in sepsis cases in intensive care units in Lubumbashi: challenges and perspectives

20251 citationOpen accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

This study highlights the high prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria and concerning resistance to first-line antibiotics, jeopardizing the effectiveness of empirical treatments. These findings underscore the urgency of strengthening microbiological surveillance, rationalizing antibiotic use, and implementing antimicrobial resistance control policies in the DRC. Developing treatment protocols tailored to local data and enforcing stricter antibiotic regulations are essential to improving sepsis management and reducing associated mortality.
