Whole genome-based characterization of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacter cloacae from orthopedic patients and environment of a tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania
Admitted orthopedic patients and the hospital environment act as a reservoir of ESBL-Ec with diverse STs and endowed with drug resistance and arsenals of virulence genes, calling for their routine screening on admission for mitigation of potential subsequent infections.
