TL;DR: Future development strategies should focus on antibiotics that are active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and Gram-negative bacteria, and include antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for community-acquired infections.

TL;DR: There is need for adequate staffing and continuous education of staff on the principles of infection control, especially hand washing which is the single most important effective measure to reduce the risks of cross infection.

TL;DR: There is a paucity of HCAI surveillance in Africa and an emergence of AMR priority pathogens, hence, there is a need for a coordinated national and regional surveillance of both HCAi and AMR in Africa.

TL;DR: The prevalence of antibiotic prescription in Nigerian hospitals is high with only about 50% of prescriptions based on clear therapeutic indications, providing evidence that the country needs to institute a cohesive antimicrobial stewardship intervention program.

TL;DR: It is sought to understand which Gram negative enteric pandemic lineages have been reported from Africa, as well as the nature and transmission of any indigenous resistant clones, and which fluoroquinolone-resistant lineages identified in African countries were universally resistant to multiple other classes of antibacterial agents.
