Emergence of blaNDM-carrying Escherichia coli ST167 isolate in rural communities in western Shandong Province, China
The findings reveal the concerning emergence and dissemination of high-risk CR-EC clones in a rural setting, facilitated by mobile genetic elements across human, animal, and environmental reservoirs. This underscores an urgent need for integrated genomic surveillance and targeted interventions to mitigate the spread of CR-EC in community ecosystems.
