Unraveling Antibiotic Resistance: Genomic Exploration of Slaughterhouse Isolates in Nigeria
Slaughterhouses pose a significant risk of contaminating meat with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Genomic analysis of blaCTX-M-15-harboring E. coli and atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) isolates from Nigerian slaughterhouses is crucial for understanding transmission dynamics and devising strategies to curb antibiotic resistance in the region.
