High burden and genetic diversity of β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae causing community-acquired urinary tract infections in Southeastern Gabon
Multidrug-resistant ESBL-, AmpC-, and OXA-48-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae are circulating in community settings in southeastern Gabon. These findings underscore the need for strengthened antimicrobial resistance surveillance and evidence-based community-level interventions.
