Abstract excerpt
The multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli, particularly β-lactamase producing strains, has become a global health challenge, where wastewater systems, specially from hospitals, serve as critical reservoirs for the dissemination of resistance genes. The objectives of the study were to investigate the whole genome sequence diversity and genetic variations focusing on their evolutionary relationships, genetic...
