Antibiotic Resistance, and Biofilm Forming Characteristics of Escherichia coli Clinical Isolates at a Hospital in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia
In northern Ethiopia, <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates showed resistance to major antibiotic classes like beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides. This high resistance and biofilm development highlight the critical need for interventions to curb resistance spread, with a focus on antibiofilm research and enhanced infection prevention measures.
