Introduction : les bactériémies sont des infections graves du fait des taux de morbidité et de mortalité significatives qu’elles engendrent. Les décès sont multipliés par deux ou trois si les patients sont atteints d’infections résistantes aux antimicrobiens. Le but de ce travail est de déterminer le profil de résistance actuel des bactéries i(...)

Nutritional Characterization of Traditional Foods Based on Millet, Sorghum and Cowpea from the North-Central Region of Burkina Faso
Rasmata Dabo, Fatoumata Hama-Ba, Serge Samandoulgou, Aly Savadogo
The food and nutrition situation in Burkina Faso, like most developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, is marked by growing food vulnerability. The majority of local dishes are being abandoned in favor of a minority of imported cereal dishes and other ultra-processed foods. This minority of cereal foods is blamed for stunted growth in childre(...)
