Spread of antimicrobial-resistant clones of the ESKAPEE group: From the clinical setting to hospital effluent
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant public health concern, affecting human, animal, and environmental health. Key pathogens like Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli (ESKAPEE) can be excreted into hospital effluent, becoming a reservoir for these pathogens. A study characterized and compared resistant microorganisms from hospital effluent and clinical samples from patients at Pequeno Príncipe Hospital in Curitiba, Paraná. The identified carbapenem resistance genes were blaKPC-2, blaGES-5, and blaNDM-1.
