MBIRA - Mortality from Bacterial Infections Resistant to Antibiotics study - underlying data

This is a project collecting prospective data about bloodstream infections caused by Enterobacterales bacteria in African hospitals in 2020-22. A central focus was the impact of 3rd generation cephalosporin (3GC) resistance on patient mortality.

In the main study, n=8 hospitals in eight different countries contributed to this project. Preliminary work involved collection of descriptive information from these 8 hospitals, including access to antibiotics in hospital pharmacies. Information was collected for infected patients and matched non-infected patients in same hospitals.
