Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant <i>E. coli</i> recovered from diarrheagenic children under 5 years from Mukuru Informal Settlement, Nairobi, Kenya, based on whole-genome sequencing analysis

This study investigated the molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolated from diarrheagenic children under 5 years of age in Mukuru Informal Settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. This is an important addition to the genomic analysis data of multi-drug resistant diarrheal <i>Escherichia coli</i> in Kenya. The use of whole-genome sequencing to identify and characterize these isolates is valuable and provides valuable insights into the molecular epidemiology of <i>E. coli</i> in the region.
