High prevalence of antibiotic resistance in commensal Escherichia coli from healthy human sources in community settings
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis that requires urgent action to stop its spread. To counteract the spread of antibiotic resistance, we must improve our understanding of the origin and spread of resistant bacteria in both community and healthcare settings. Unfortunately, littl...
