Genomic diversity of clinically relevant bacterial pathogens from an acute care hospital in Suva, Fiji
This study provides crucial genomic data on AMR organisms in Fiji, highlighting the diversity of resistant species in the region. Local transmission of four carbapenem-resistant clones within Fiji was observed, underscoring the importance of local spread of these resistant strains.
