Discussion

This study identifies multidrug-resistant strains in hospital wastewater, suggesting urgent public health implications.

High prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains like MRSA was found in hospital wastewater.
Resistance genes, including blaCTX-M, mecA, and vanA, were identified through molecular characterization.
Disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration methods were used to assess resistance profiles.
These results indicate a need for better wastewater treatment processes and antimicrobial stewardship.

Hussien et al. (2025) studied this question.
