One Health in Termeno, South Tyrol, Italy
This project aimed to establish a collection of ESBL producing bacterial strains isolated from human, animal, and environmental sources in the Termeno area, Northern Italy. The isolates were characterised using phenotypic and genomic approaches, including the identification of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence determinants. The distribution of strains was analysed and compared across different sources to identify potential epidemiological links.
