Genomic Diversity and Antimicrobial Resistance of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> Isolates from Africa: A PulseNet Africa Initiative Using Nanopore Sequencing to Enhance Genomic Surveillance
2024-12-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> Vibrio cholerae remains a significant public health threat in Africa, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) complicating treatment. This study leverages whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of V. cholerae isolates from Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Zambia and South Africa to assess genomic diversity, AMR profiles, and virulence, demonstrating the utility of WGS for enhanced surveillance within the PulseNet Af...
