Diversity and structure of microalgae and their potential use in monitoring water pollution and eutrophication in the Loumbila reservoir (Burkina Faso)
OUATTARA Minata, OUEDRAOGO Ilassa, ZONGO Bilassé, ZONGO Frédéric
Microalgae play a fundamental role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. The diversity and structure
of the microalgae community are always influenced by the availability of nutrients in the environment, which is one
of the causes of water eutrophication. Microalgae are the best biological indicators of pollution and eutrophication

Prevalence of β-lactamase genes and integrons among multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp recovered from food samples in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Adama Patrice Soubeiga, Dissinviel Stéphane Kpoda , Oumar Traoré, Cheikna Zongo, Aly Savadogo
The resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to β-lactam antibiotics occurs mainly by the production
of β-lactamases. The aim of this work was to evaluate the presence of β-lactamase genes and
integrons in multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates recovered from food. Susceptibility to antibiotics
was determined using the agar diffusion method. Det(...)
