Whole-genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from oral, nasal, and endotracheal samples of ICU patients
This study investigates the genomic characteristics of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains isolated from oral, nasal, and endotracheal aspirates of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Whole-genome sequencing analysis was performed to examine antimicrobial resistance genes, sequence types, and other factors. The aim of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of infection transmission in critically ill patients.
