Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from outpatients in urban and rural districts of Uganda

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is prevalent among E. coli and K. pneumoniae carried in the gut of clients attending outpatient clinics in Kampala and two rural districts in Uganda. This could complicate treatment options for community-acquired infections caused by the Enterobacteriaceae.
