Environmental Dissemination of Multidrug‐Resistant Gram‐Negative Pathogens in Djibouti's Wastewaters
For the first time, we describe here MDR-GNB bacterial isolates from urban and environmental wastewater in Djibouti. To date, carbapenem-resistant isolates have only been present in hospital wastewater. Regular surveillance policies, consistent with the "One Health" approach, are recommended to prevent the spread and monitor the evolution of antibiotic resistance in the environment and within the Djiboutian community.
