Comparative analysis of culture- and ddPCR-based wastewater surveillance for carbapenem-resistant bacteria
This study compares culture-based and ddPCR methods for quantifying carbapenem resistance in wastewater, revealing weak correlations. Nanopore sequencing clarifies resistance mechanisms, emphasizing method selection and integrated AR surveillance.
