Implication

Evaluation of wastewater surveillance methods shows effective detection of MDR genes in facilities, suggesting improvement in public health strategies.

Key Points

MDR genes were effectively detected in wastewater, particularly highlighting the abundance of blaKPC.
All tested methods showed variable results, but passive sampling followed by digital PCR yielded the most reliable data.
Evaluated multiple approaches for wastewater collection and PCR methods to enhance surveillance efficacy.
The study outlines the potential of wastewater monitoring as an important tool for public health in healthcare settings.
