Population structure and antimicrobial resistance among Klebsiella isolates sampled from human, animal, and environmental sources in Ghana: a cross-sectional genomic One Health study

  18 October 2023

Although several AMR-associated gene classes were observed relatively frequently in non-clinical sources, ESBL, carbapenemase, and virulence genes were predominantly present only in hospital samples. These results suggest that interventions should be focused on clinical settings to have the greatest effect on the prevalence and dissemination of AMR-associated genes.
