This study uncovers resistance profiles of multidrug-resistant bacteria in diverse settings, suggesting a need for integrated approaches to address antimicrobial resistance.
Key Points
High resistance rates were identified in multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens from both healthcare and environmental sources, emphasizing the AMR threat.
Analysis of 60 bacterial isolates revealed key resistance genes, including bla_CTX-M and bla_NDM-1, suggesting horizontal gene transfer occurs across ecosystems.
The study employed molecular techniques like whole-genome sequencing and antibiotic susceptibility testing to assess bacterial resistance mechanisms.
Findings support the One Health paradigm, indicating the interconnected nature of antimicrobial resistance in human health and environmental contexts.
