Genomic characterization of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates from patients in an orthopaedic ward in Mwanza, Tanzania
2026-06-25
Abstract excerpt
Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli are a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in healthcare settings, yet their genomic diversity and population structure remain poorly characterized in low-resource settings. Orthopaedic wards may facilitate persistence, acquisition, and possible onward spread of resistant organisms due to prolonged hospitalization, frequent...
