Metagenomic analysis of the abundance and composition of antibiotic resistance genes in hospital wastewater in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Finland

2021-10-22

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest global threats to human health, but substantial gaps in antibiotic resistance data exist in West African countries. We explored the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the hospital wastewater (HWW) of nine hospitals in Benin and Burkina Faso and, for comparison, four hospitals in Finland using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The highest sum of the relative...
