Abstract: The paper presented here is part of an interdisciplinary project called "Educational Management," the purpose of which is to analyze the management and accountability policies applied in Public Institutions of Higher Education (IHE). Education for Sustainable Development has a privileged place since the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN), as it is listed as one of the goals pursued by these objectives. The approach to sustainable education was established at the World Conference on Education for All (EFA), held in Jomtien, Thailand, in 1990 and continued at the World Education Forum in 2000. The 4th Sustainable Development Goal seeks to promote learning opportunities and ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education. This goal is a commitment to educational innovation and university social responsibility as it is a protagonist in the formation of students and the creation of learning spaces. Likewise, IHEs must generate a culture and expansion of knowledge, scientific-technological innovation and be a model for society. Furthermore, they must contribute to the Agenda for Sustainable Development, the final document of which, entitled “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” promotes the end of poverty, fights against inequality and injustice, and addresses climate change so that no one is left behind by 2030.

Abstract: Beta-lactams have always been used in many cases as first-line antibiotics in human medicine. The emergence of beta-lactamase-producing strains of Enterobacteriaceae is nowadays a public health problem. In order to demonstrate the transplacental transmission of enterobacteria resistance to beta-lactams between mothers and their children. Seventy-two (72) stool samples were collected from mothers and two-day-old newborns at the Talangaï referral hospital. Isolation of enterobacteria was done on selective media. Identification of beta-lactamase producing strains was performed by biochemical characteristics using API 20E strips. The resistance profile to carbapenems, monobactam and cephalosporins was performed by antibiogram. A total of 50 strains were purified and identified, of which 30 (60%) were isolated from the mother-newborn couple and 20 (40%) from the newborns. Among these strains, we identified in the mother-newborn group: 10 (33%) Enterobacter sp, 10 (33%) Escherichia coli, 6 (20%) Klebsiella oxytoca; 2 (7%) Shigella sp and 2 (7%) Salmonella sp. High resistance to carbapenems and cephalosporins was observed with Shigella sp. The other strains of enterobacteria isolated from newborns only, among which were identified: 7 (35%) Escherichia coli; 5 (25%) Klebsiella oxytoca; 5 (25%) Enterobacter sp, 3 (15%) Shigella sp. newborns without their mothers showed a variable resistance profile to the antibiotics tested. Three resistance phenotypes were observed in the mother-newborn group including: FEP PRL CL, FEP AMP MA CR ATM IMP ETP and FEP AMP CAZ MA CL ETP. The resistance phenotypes observed in the mothers were identical to those found in their respective offspring. These results show that each newborn is born with a rate of resistance acquired at birth, which testifies to a transplacental transmission between mother and child, consequence of the emergence of the resistance of enterobacteria to betalactamines in the Congolese population.
