Diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella are among the key enteric infections endemic in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa, especially in displaced populations and among the urban populations living in overcrowded informal settlements. Here, we explore the prevalence and the genomic epidemiology of these infections and the growing problem of multidrug resistance, including emerging resistance to the last line of treatment for these infections. Prevalence rates to commonly available antimicrobials, including ampicillin, chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole, and tetracycline, now range between 65% and 80%, while 15%\u201320% of recently studied isolates show reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones and emerging resistance to extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactams mediated by the CTX-M-15 gene carried on a highly mobile genetic element. The high prevalence of multidrug-resistant isolates including resistance to reserve antibiotics, calls for enhanced control and management options. It will be important for governments in the region to enhance the implementation of national action plans, as guided by the global action plan championed by the World Health Organization, to combat the threat of antimicrobial resistance. However, to yield meaningful results, these efforts will require a strong commitment and enhancement at all levels of healthcare in order. In addition, the use of World Health Organization\u2013approved vaccines in the short to medium term and improvement of water and sanitation in the long term will reduce the burden of disease and antimicrobial resistance in the region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/jiab457","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,13]],"date-time":"2021-09-13T19:13:00Z","timestamp":1631560380000},"page":"S883-S889","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Antimicrobial
