Cross-sectional survey of resistant priority pathogen carriage in the hospital setting in Timor-Leste 2020–2021
ESBL, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin resistance carriage rates were high, particularly in Dili. MRSA carriage and carbapenem resistance were reassuringly low. Ongoing surveillance is essential to monitor AMR and inform guideline development.
