Antimicrobial Resistance Levels of Non-Tuberculous Bacteria Isolates from Sputum of TB Patients in Ghana
The observed antibiotic resistance among the identified isolates, including MRSA and ESBL, underscores the need for routine antibiotic susceptibility testing and judicious antibiotic use in Ghana. Further research is needed to explore the long-term consequences of these microbiome shifts on TB treatment outcomes and risk of secondary infections.
