A retrospective review of 122 patient records examined demographic data, antibiotic use, dose regimen, hospitalizations length and commodities. The study aimed to determine antibiotic prescription patterns and treatment outcomes (primary outcomes) and identify factors predicting patient recovery (Secondary outcomes). Chi square analysis and Fisher&#8217;s test were utilized to obtain the primary outcomes and the secondary outcome was derived using regression analysis. A total of 299 antibiotics from 10 classes were prescribed with 98.4% of patients receiving azithromicin and penicillin\/macrolides Among the patients, 40 completed treatments at home. 53 had commodities, 19 died, 100 recovered. Poor treatment outcomes were linked to older age, commodities and multiple antibiotic combinations, while gender, hospitalizations length and Antibiotic type did not significantly impact recovery. No significant differences were found in antibiotic prescriptions between patients with and without bacterial co-infections. These findings highlight the role of compromised immunity in poor outcomes and underscore the importance of evidence based antibiotic use during outbreaks to enhance patient management and curb antimicrobial resistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-yjyvz\" data-uniq-id=\"corxy\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-nkbne\"><strong style=\"opacity: 1\">Authors: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-jhwvs\" data-uniq-id=\"syexb\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-yeygn\"><span style=\"opacity: 1\">Ibukun Akinkunmi, Ayodapo Oluwa dare Jegede, Stella Chinyere Onyegazi, Benjamin Agbamudia, Sylvia Ifeoma Obu, Victor Azubuike Osiatuma, Anastacia Okwudili Ojimba, Efe Erhinyaye Omoyibo, Queen Adesuwa Aigbokhaede, Ugoeze Francis Chinedu, Kate Ugochi Akinkunmi, Obianuju Jisieike <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-wrapper-clone brz-css-ticlj\">\n<div class=\"brz-d-xs-flex brz-flex-xs-wrap brz-css-gzomo brz-css-ysuks\">\n<div class=\"brz-wrapper-clone__item\" id=\"rniutbgsezymsbitptottyhakoeilsnshonu\"><a class=\"brz-a brz-btn brz-css-twgmh brz-css-sxeki\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scilit.com\/publications\/1dd619fc5374cbfabbd18a80138d9f50\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" data-brz-link-type=\"external\" data-brz-custom-id=\"rniutbgsezymsbitptottyhakoeilsnshonu\"><span data-brz-translate-text=\"1\" class=\"brz-span brz-text__editor\">Download&nbsp; Document<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section data-brz-uid=\"qjfohomjdtqybdmkbhbzrgtwtohgwnwoovtc\" id=\"qjfohomjdtqybdmkbhbzrgtwtohgwnwoovtc\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-viwax\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-mdopt brz-css-zjgfr\" data-brz-custom-id=\"fgmkmnlszubpfiocorjhcwbvmyukpqmqnvqu\">\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-acwpr\">\n<div class=\"brz-row__container brz-css-fritc\" data-brz-custom-id=\"ibcayrsyptvgkblscxzaepmtoomrbazcvjez\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-row brz-css-veawh brz-css-ybvsh\">\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-vugpv brz-css-nwdgd\" data-brz-custom-id=\"fukgrzdnzjwzinatwsqwpssmxpnjxgkdavkh\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-xuldy brz-css-iymob\">\n<div id class=\"brz-css-gohtu brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-rixii\" data-brz-custom-id=\"tdqdnfrzaxclqliohsqzzzwjlriicdvdwifr\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<h5 class=\"brz-tp-lg-empty brz-ff-dm_serif_text brz-ft-google brz-fs-lg-20 brz-fss-lg-px brz-fw-lg-400 brz-ls-lg-0 brz-lh-lg-1_5 brz-css-ulskz\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-gjtup\" data-uniq-id=\"qarnq\">Antimicrobial Sensitivity Profile for Bacterial Isolates from Stool Samples at the Federal Medical Centre Nigeria <\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id class=\"brz-css-gohtu brz-css-xvisb brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-rixii\" data-brz-custom-id=\"ykzqcvfrwqyyyusfjbxtscplizmrjgxmikoi\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-gkzux\" data-uniq-id=\"smzpy\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-srzsg\"><span style=\"opacity: 1\">ABSTRACT<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-jimca\" data-uniq-id=\"hgygi\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-znjjb\">The retrospective study, determined the antimicrobial sensitivity Isolates from stool samples at the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, Nigeria (2019-2022).

Data on demographics, antenatal booking. ARV use, delivery mode, CD4 count, and infant feeding were collected. Ethical approval was obtained from the hospital&#8217;s ethics committee. MTCT rates were analysed based on these variables.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-deslz\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-rojcj\" data-uniq-id=\"pmaqi\">Results: MTCT rates dropped from 1.2% in 2018 to 0% in 2019, with ARV use showed lower MTCT rates were associated with CD4 counts below 200 cells\/mm^3, emphasizing the importance of early Art initiation.

Data on participants&rsquo; sociodemographic characteristics, level of awareness, knowledge, and possible risk factors associated with hepatitis B and C infection were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Approximately 3 mL of venous blood was collected aseptically from each participant and analysed for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C virus antibodies using standard rapid diagnostic test kits.
