One Health surveillance of multidrug-resistant diarrheagenic Escherichia coli in Northeast India
This study highlights the widespread burden of DEC and the alarming rise of MDR/XDR strains across humans, food and animals in Northeast India. The overlapping AMR patterns suggest shared reservoirs and transmission pathways, emphasizing the urgent need for stringent antimicrobial stewardship, a systematic surveillance system and improved hygiene practices to mitigate the spread of MDR-DEC.
