Whole-Genome Sequencing Uncovers Chromosomal and Plasmid-Borne Multidrug Resistance and Virulence Genes in Poultry-Associated <i>Escherichia coli</i> from Nigeria
2025-09-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Unregulated antibiotic use in poultry farming drives the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, which can spread to humans through the food chain and environment, posing serious public health risks. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS), combined with antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), enables detailed characterization of resistance mechanisms and supports antimic...
