Carriage of multidrug-resistant bacteria and encoding genes among Vietnamese children with acute diarrhea
MDR bacterial carriage and resistance genes were frequently detected at hospital admission, reflecting community or previous health care-associated exposure rather than in-hospital antibiotic selection. These findings underscore the urgent need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, rational antibiotic use, improved infection control, and enhanced diagnostic capacity.
