K Sewankambo Chair, GARP-Uganda Working Group President UNAS ii Antibiotic Resistance in Uganda: Situation Analysis and Recommendations PREFACE Antibiotic resistance was initially viewed as only being a human medical problem in hospital-acquired infections, and usually only in critically ill and immunosuppressed patients. Today, the antibiotic resistance (ABR) phenomena has spread to the point that the general population is considered to be at risk, bringing about an era where many common EDFWHULDOLQIHFWLRQVDUHEHFRPLQJLQFUHDVLQJO\GLI¿FXOWWRWUHDW2IFRQFHUQLQDGGLWLRQWR the use in human beings, is the expanding use of antibiotics in poultry and livestock not only for treating disease, but to promote growth and prevent disease. The ABR phenomenon has become a global concern as geographic borders among countries and continents have become less distinct due to increasing global trade, expanding human and animal populations, societal advances and technological developments. Because of this increasing global connectivity, we now see rapid transport of infectious agents and their ABR genes. This means that ABR, in any obscure microscopic niche anywhere in the world, may consequently exert an impact on the rest of the world. UNAS, with support from the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP), has formed a multi-disciplinary committee to study antibiotic resistance and access in Uganda and to participate in an evidence-based policymaking process. This report covers the efforts made by UNAS and CDDEP in constituting an independent expert Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP-Uganda) committee, and the production of the situational analysis report on antibiotic resistance and access in Uganda. This report will guide interventions that will be put in place to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance in Uganda. Dr Mpairwe Yusuf and Dr Wamala Samuel.

Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

  • Investigation of Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading to Urinary Tract Infections Among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Sub-Saharan Africa
    INVESTIGATION OF Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading TO Urinary TRACT INFECTIONS Among Patients WITH Diabetes Mellitus IN Sub-SaharAN Africa. Jackline NakkunguA A Department OF MicrOBIOLOGY, Faculty OF Health Sciences, University OF Kisubi, Kisubi, Uganda AbstrACT Background:A The RISK OF DIABETIC PATIENTS ACQUIRING UTIS IS HIGHER THAN THAT OF THEIR non-diabetic counterparts. This IS DUE TO THE DAMAGE ON THE URINARY BLADDER NERVES CAUSED BY HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEvels. This NERVE DAMAGE REDUCES THE ABILITY OF THE URINARY BLADDER TO SENSE THE PRESENCE OF URINE IN it. As A Result, URINE STAYS FOR A LONG TIME IN THE bladder, INCREASING THE GROWTH OF THE BACTERIA IN urine. UTI’S MAY LEAD TO EMPHYSEMATOUS Pyelonephritis, CYSTITIS IN females, RENAL AND PERIRENAL abscess, PAPILLARY NECRosis, XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS Pyelonephritis, AND FUNGAL infections. TherE IS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BACTERIA AffECTING DIABETIC PATIENTS IN Uganda. Methodology: IN A CRoss-sectional STUDY, 76 DIABETIC PATIENTS AT Our Lady OF Consolata Kisubi Hospital HAD THEIR URINE SAMPLES COLLECTED AND ANALYZED FOR THE PRESENCE OF URo-bacterial PATHOGENS IN THE MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY AT THE University OF Kisubi. Patients WERE INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO COLLECT MIDSTREAM urine, WHICH WERE CULTURED ON BLOOD AGAR AND MacConkEY AGAR plates. The BACTERIA WERE IDENTIfiED ACCORDING TO COLONY size, shape, AND hemolysis. SeVERAL BIOCHEMICAL TESTS WERE USED TO CONfiRM THE PRESENCE OF THE DIffERENT BACTERIA STRAINS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL SUBCULTURED COLONIES Results Escherichia COLI WAS THE MOST PREDOMINANT BACTERIUM ASSOCIATED WITH UTIS IN DIABETES MELLITUS WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF 42.3 %. This WAS FOLLOWED BY Klebsiella SPECIES WITH 21.1%, Staphylococcus AUREUS WITH 14.1%, StrEPTOCOCCUS SPECIES AT 11.76%, PrOTEUS SPECIES AT 5.8%, EnterOCOCCUS FAECALIS AT 3.5%, AND SerrATIA MARCESCENS WITH 1.17%.

  • Long-Term Storage of Sweetpotato by Small-Scale Farmers Through Improved Post Harvest Technologies

Box 7852 Kampala, Uganda 2International Potato Centre, Regional Office, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda 3The Regional Network for the Improvement of Potato and Sweet potato in East and Central Africa, PO Box 22274, Kampala, Uganda Abstract Sweetpotato (SP) small-scale farmers of Luweero and Mpigi districts were introduced to improved long-term storage methods (pit and clamp) as a way of improving their livelihood. Based on a participatory approach, farmers were involved in a storage study where dry matter, beta-carotene and sugar content parameters were monitored over a 60 day period in Mpigi and 75 days in Luweero district. Pit and clamp stores were constructed by farmers in selected sites of each district. Improved SP varieties (Ejumula, Naspot 1, Naspot 2, New Kawogo, Semanda and SPK004) were used for the storage study. Dry matter contents of SP were exceptionally high, particularly for roots from Mpigi district, with Semanda variety having the highest dry matter (41%). High beta-carotene concentrations were recorded for the orange-fleshed varieties, SPK004 and Ejumula, 68 and 125 mg/100 g, respectively. Total sugar contents of the roots were generally low (1.6-3.7 g/100 g), with exception of Naspot 2 (5.7 g/100 g).

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.

The unit is run by one pediatric surgeon trained through COSECSA. It is the second PSU in the country. This PSU brought pediatric surgical services and training closer to the Mbarara community. Methods The study was conducted at Mbarara regional referral hospital (MRRH). It was a cross-sectional mixed design study. For the qual- itative arm, Key Informant interviews were done with the main stakeholders who established the PSU. Impact on training was assessed using a questionnaire to former postgraduate trainees (Alumni). Quantitative arm assessed number of surgeries by a historical audit of hospital operating room registers comparing volume of surgeries before and after the establishment of the unit.
