Molecular Characterization of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes in Multidrug-Resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolated From Wastewater Generated From the Hospital Environment
This study revealed that untreated hospital wastewaters are significant hub of multidrug-resistant and fluoroquinolone-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i>, showing high carriage of PMQR genes, and may be a major contributor to the resistome of fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria in the Nigerian environment.
