OBJECTIVES: Typhoid fever is a common infection in Africa and, despite scarce surveillance reports, its incidence is commonly considered high by the Angolan health system. Drug-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi has emerged, making antimicrobial susceptibility testing essential to provide clinical guidance. This is the first report analysing the antimicrobial resistance patterns and population structure of […]

OBJECTIVE: Since physicians play an important role on antibiotic usage, it is vital to understand their antibiotic-prescribing behaviour and knowledge on antimicrobial resistance, in order to develop and implement effective antibiotic stewardship interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate Portuguese physicians’ knowledge, and understand prescription behaviours, difficulties and barriers in their antibiotic prescription […]
