Genomic characterization of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates from patients in an orthopaedic ward in Mwanza, Tanzania
2026-05-05
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 and transmission due to prolonged hospitalization, frequent antimicrobial exposure, and increased patient v...
