MBIRA-pilot (Mortality from Bacterial Infections Resistant to Antibiotics)

Isolates from a pilot of the first multi-national prospective observational study to better understand the mortality burden due to AMR in bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa.The MBIRA project is focussed on bloodstream infections (=bacteraemia) caused by Gram-negative enteric bacteria (Enterobacteria, such as E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and includes patients of all age groups, from neonates to adults. The aim is to gather data across a range of hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa to inform larger global burden of disease analyses.
