Contribution to the Study of Antibiotic Resistance on Salmonella and Shigella Strains Isolated in Central African Republic

Peoples are contaminated by germs such as Salmonella and Shigella. This contamination can occur either from the environment or by contact with infected animals on the farm. Peoples are frequently infected by the consumption of raw or undercooked meat, contaminated during the slaughter process [24]. Salmonella and Shigella are the leading cause of gastroenteritis food borne humans cause symptoms of a wide range of severity, usually manifested by a more or less severe diarrhea sometimes requiring therapeutic management [5-8]. In the absence of treatment, bacteremia or sepsis may also occur and be fatal, particularly for the elderly, children and immuno-compromised if no antibiotic is administered in time [9].
