Detection and Molecular Characterization of Escherichia coli from Wastewater Environments in Two University Campuses in Nigeria
The current study showed that UPEC is widely distributed in the environment of two Nigerian universities. The index range of MDR and the circulation of ARGs and virulence genes in the environment suggest a potential health concern, thus warranting further investigation.
