Indeed, confronted with the burdensome problem of managing the largest Empire in the world, Great Britain had to find means and ways to relinquish her African territories but not anyhow. Victorian Imperialists had to turn the tide by transforming the process of African decolonisation in an informal imperialist system which produced tools of Imperialism managed by the main Imperial power to reproduce imperial structures on the Dark Continent.

En effet, confrontée au lourd problème de gestion du plus grand empire au monde, la Grande-Bretagne devait trouver des voies et moyens pour abandonner ses territoires africains mais pas à n’importe quel prix. Les impérialistes de l’époque victorienne devaient renverser la tendance en transformant le processus de la décolonisation en Afrique en un système impérialiste informel qui produisit des outils de l’Impérialisme gérés par la principale autorité impériale pour reproduire des structures impériales sur le Continent noir.

This study aims to determine the sensitivity of Escherichia coli to carbapenems. Methods: The susceptibility to carbapenems of Escherichia coli isolated from childhood diarrhea at the Paul Moukambi Regional Hospital Center was evaluated by the diffusion method in an agar medium in accordance with the recommendations of the Antibiogram Committee of the French Society (CA-SFM) and by the determination of Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of imipenem according to the guidelines of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

The health and health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) build on this hope, providing guidance to ensure that no one is left behind as the continent progresses towards sustainable and equitable health. To achieve this, a coherent and logical approach to the adaptation of the SDGs is needed, to ensure that the health dividend accrued in the coming years is enjoyed equitably and plays its role in accelerating the development of the continent. The WHO Regional Oce for Africa has set up a process to ensure that countries walk together as they march towards sustainable and equitable health.

Despite worrying prevalences of many bona fide risk factors of HCC, including high rates of chronic infections with hepatitis viruses and very high alcohol consumption, Gabon presents theoretically an amazingly low incidence of HCC when compared to other countries of the region.
