This study aimed to assess the antibiotic resistance patterns of Pseudomonas species isolated from the environment of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Nigeria. A total of 53 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were obtained from 201 clinical samples across various sites, including sinks, hand swabs, tabletops, gloves, and stethoscopes. Among the ten antibiotics tested, seven; Pefloxacin, Septrin, Ciprofloxacin, Gentamycin, Streptomycin, Rocephin, and Erythromycin - showed effectiveness against the isolates, while 30% exhibited resistance to Ampiclox, Zinnacef, and Amoxicillin. Rocephin demonstrated the highest sensitivity rate (33.3%) among isolates from sink samples. These findings underscore the prevalence of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa in the UCTH environment, highlighting a potential public health risk. Strengthened policies on antimicrobial stewardship and rigorous infection control measures are recommended to curb the spread of resistant strains.

The monitoring of physiological parameters using wearable (bio-) sensors of military personnel is a progressing process within the military environment. It sets high demands on such devices, in order to support healthcare and performance of the personnel. To get an overview of the current status of the use, the evaluation and the implementation in the military, in May 2021, the Multinational Medical Coordination Centre / European Medical Command has organized an expert workshop about ‘Biosensors Supporting Healthcare in Missions’. Three thematic clusters were addressed: ‘Human Performance and Readiness’; ‘Health and Medical Management Applications’ and ‘Ethical and Legal Aspects of the Use of Biosensors’.
