Environmental resistome of culturable gram-negative bacilli from the Yaque del Norte River: baseline genomic evidence for one health surveillance
isolate. Nevertheless, the presence of diverse ARGs in this environmentally impacted river underscores the potential for future emergence and spread of AMR. These findings provide baseline genomic evidence to support environmental AMR surveillance and highlight the need to strengthen antibiotic stewardship and One Health-oriented monitoring strategies in the Dominican Republic.
