Genomic surveillance of Escherichia coli in municipal wastewater treatment plants as an indicator of clinically relevant pathogens and their resistance genes
1 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
We examined whether genomic surveillance of Escherichia coli in wastewater could capture the dominant E. coli lineages associated with bloodstream infection and livestock in the East of England, together with the antibiotic-resistance genes circulating in the wider E. coli population. Treated and untreated wastewater was taken from 20 municipal treatment plants in the East of England, half in direct receipt of...
