Resolved genomes of wastewater ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and metagenomic analysis of source wastewater samples
22 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli pose a serious threat to human health because of their resistance to the most commonly prescribed antibiotics: penicillins and cephalosporins. In this study, we provide a genomic and metagenomic context for the determinant beta-lactam resistance genes of ESBL-positive E. coli isolated from various wastewater treatment utilities in Oregon,...
