Antibiotic Susceptibility of Enterococcus Spp Strain Isolated from Urine Culture At the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Pédiatrique Charles De Gaulle in ouagadougou , Burkina Faso Oumarou Ouédraogo, Dinanibè Kambiré, Marius Biaou, Mamadou Tamboura, Issa Tondé, Raoul Paré, Tani Sagna, Abdou-Azaque Zouré, Tegwende Rebeca Compaoré, Issiaka Soulama, Noufou Ouédraogo, Henri Gautier Ouédraogo, Drissa Sanou, Sylvin Ouédraogo, Seni Kouanda, Rasmata Ouédraogo Traoré, Mahamoudou Sanou American Journal of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology. 2025 13 (2). doi: 10.12691/ajidm-13-2-2 Keywords: Enterococcus spp, Antibiotics, susceptibility, Burkina Faso Context: Poorly documented data on infections caused by Enterococcus spp in Africa, especially south of the Sahara, and the increasingly growing demand for Cytobacteriological Examination of Urine (ECBU) have made necessary to carry out this study. The study aimed to investigate the epidemiological and bacteriological aspects of Enterococcus spp strains isolated in urine from 2015 to 2017 at CHUP-CDG, in order to contribute to better care. The distribution of the infected participants according to age has shown that children aged from 1 month to 1 year old were the most representative (37.9%). Regarding the sex, the majority of the infected people were female (66.7%). The distribution of urine analyzed by year has shown that from 2015 to 2017 the number of analyzed samples increased. The lowest number was recorded in 2015 (24.4%) and the highest number was recorded in 2017 (41.9). The study results showed that the prevalence of Enterococcus spp increased between 2015 and 2017 from 1.9 to 3.1 respectively. The majority of the participants (61.4%) infected by Enterococcus spp were hospitalized at CHUP-CDG. The outpatients represented 38.6% of the participants. Among the hospitalized patients, the majority came from infant’s unit accounting for 38.3% of the overall participants. The lowest number were recorded in the emergency and oncology services with 1.2% for each clinical service. Most of these strains were sensitive to Vancomycin. We also found sensitivity to Nitrofurans, Chloramphenicol, Lincomycin and Pristinamycin. However, we saw a decrease in their sensitivity to Lincomycin in the same period.

Physicochemical and Microbiological Qualities of Traditional Cereal-Based Porridges Sold in ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) Boureima Kagambèga, Hama Cissé, Sidbewendé Clarisse Compaoré, François Tapsoba, Souleymane Zongo, Adama Sawadogo, Cheikna Zongo, Yves Traoré, Aly Savadogo American Journal of Food and Nutrition. 2019 7 (3). doi: 10.12691/ajfn-7-3-2 Keywords: porridge, cereal, microorganism, nutrient, energy density Context: Cereals are major sources of energy and micronutrients for people in West Africa, especially in Burkina Faso because they are included in many dishes like traditional porridge. The purpose of this study is to analyze the physicochemical and microbiological parameters of various traditional cereal-based porridges. The physicochemical analysis focused on pH, viscosity, acidity measurements, dosing energetic nutrients and evaluate energy densities of porridges. Aerobic total mesophilic flora (ATMF), coliforms, yeasts and molds and Staphylococci have been counted. Physicochemical analysis of the porridges were: pH (4 to 9.55), viscosities (32 to 187.5mm/sec), acidities (0.04 to 0.23g/100g), dry matter (5.04 to 49.97%), Ashes (0.64 to 05.00%), fats (06.60 to 18.26%), proteins (07.22 to 10.22%), carbohydrates (30.61 to 80.52%), energy densities (17.82 to 114.73 Kcal/100g). Microbiological analysis of porridges showed high loads of 1.19x104 CFU/g, 5.5x102 CFU/g, 1.56x103 CFU/g and 6x101 CFU/g for ATMF, coliforms, yeasts and molds and Staphylococci, respectively. Eleven ingredients were used for the production of porridges. This study shows that the actors of this sector need to be trained on good hygiene practices.
