Environmental reservoirs of high-risk ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing <i>E. coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella</i> in maternity wards in Yaounde (Cameroon): Whole-genome sequencing and antimicrobial susceptibility studies
2026-03-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The hospital environment is increasingly recognized as a critical reservoir for antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria. In sub-Saharan Africa, maternity wards represent high-risk settings where environmental contamination poses a direct threat to vulnerable mothers and neonates. Despite this, there is a significant lack of data integrating phenotypic resistance with whole-genome sequencing (WG...
