2026-04-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the Lake Chad Basin poses a significant threat to global health. While Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are primary concerns for the WHO, Proteus species have emerged as important clinical pathogens and potential reservoirs for genetic resistance. This study aimed to analyze the molecular diversity and horizontal gene t...
