High prevalence of colonization with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing and multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales in the community in Addis Ababa Ethiopia: risk factors, carbapenem resistance, and molecular characterization
Intestinal colonization by ESBL-PE harboring the associated antibiotic resistance genes was substantially high but with low CP-CRE. Continued surveillance of community-level carriage of antimicrobial resistance Enterobacterales is warranted.
