Antibiotic resistance is a well-documented global health challenge that disproportionately impacts low- and middle-income countries. In 2019, the number of deaths attributed to associated with antibiotic in Western Sub-Saharan Africa was approximately 27 115 per 100,000, respectively, higher than other regions worldwide. Extensive research has consistently confirmed persistent presence spread hospitals, among livestock, within food supply chains, across various environmental contexts. This review documents risk factors contributing West Africa. We collected studies from multiple African countries using Web Science PubMed databases. screened them for antibiotic-resistant bacteria genes between 2018 2024. Our findings indicate remains significant concern Africa, pollution waste management identified as major proliferation Additional include poor hygiene, use antibiotics agriculture, aquaculture, animal farming, transmission hospital settings. Unfortunately, lack comprehensive genetic characterization hinders thorough understanding this critical issue region. Since transcends national borders can countries, it essential understand driving its dissemination Such will be instrumental developing recommending effective strategies nationally internationally combat resistance.
