Objective: This studywas performed to evaluate the genetic relatedness of MDR clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. Method: A total of 1000 samples were analysed in the study. Antibiotic resistance profiles of the isolates were determined usingKirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing were simultaneously used to detect theconsensus region of 16S rRNA. Genetic relatedness of the isolates was determined using restriction patterns from ALU 1 digestand random amplified polymorphic DNA. Results: Out of the 192 P. aeruginosa isolates recovered, 136 (78.83%) were multidrug resistant. Sequence analysis of the confirmedisolates (80.68%) revealed that all the isolates shared homology with each other and also showed sequence similarity toknown strains of P. aeruginosa (ATCC 27853; KT 315654; KU 321274 and KT894767). The PCR-Restriction fragment lengthpolymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis revealed that there was a lot of genetic relatedness among the isolates.

The incidence of violence against African women has been increasing. However, no study has systematically summarized the global prevalence of sexual violence against African woman. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science, databases from their inception through January 2021 for pertinent studies on reporting the prevalence of sexual violence against African women. We included observational studies. The prevalence rate was estimated using a random-effects meta-analysis. The heterogeneity was evaluated using I2 statistic. Differences by study level characteristics were estimated through subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Results: A total of 9 cross-sectional studies were included (a total of 9,030 participants). The pooled sexual violence rate was 0.33 (95% CI = 0.23–0.42). Subgroup analyses found that there was a higher rates of sexual violence against pregnant woman in east Africa (0.41, 95% CI = 0.24–0.58), pregnant (0.42, 95% CI = 0.05–0.80), and interview (0.40, 95% CI = 0.01–0.78). The analysis found that the major sexual violence types were the physical violence (0.19, 95% CI = 0.07–0.31), psychological violence (0.36, 95% CI = 0.11–0.61), sexual assault (0.25, 95% CI = 0.02–0.47). Conclusions: Nearly one out of every three (33%) African woman around the world has been a victim of sexual violence in their life.
