Genomic Epidemiology of ESBL and Non-ESBL-Producing Escherichia coli Across One Health Interfaces in Oman
: This study highlights plasmid-mediated resistance and shared virulence determinants linking reservoirs; although AMR profile was quite distinct across the three interfaces, human isolates demonstrated greater resistance than animal isolates, suggesting healthcare-driven AMR in Oman. Continued integrated genomic surveillance is essential to monitor gene flow and inform coordinated antimicrobial stewardship strategies.
