Meta-analysis of observational data on antibiotic (AB) susceptibility (in %) in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) or not only SAM (Mixed-NUT).

† IQR: 25–75 inter-quartile range. *Mean susceptibility weighed proportionally (coefficient) to number of patients (N) per study; a = Cumulated susceptibilities of all isolated bacteria. Abbreviations: AMX = amoxicillin (or ampicillin), CTX = co-trimoxazol, GEN = Gentamicin, AGE = AMX-GEN combination, CHL = chloramphenicol (b 91% susceptible to CHL-GEN); CIP = Ciprofloxacin, CRO = Ceftriaxone (c: in this case Cefotaxime instead, similar spectrum); COA = AMX-Clavulanate combination. d: age: <14 days of life, e: age>14 days of life.
