Both studies emphasize the link between water quality and the spread of AMR, highlighting the importance of environmental surveillance in tackling AMR.

Sincerely grateful to my PI @iruka-okeke.bsky.social, supervisor, partner and all collaborators on this project.

A few years ago we asked an important public health question:What is the quality of household water in municipal Ibadan, Nigeria?

The initial study revealed the water sources did not meet the bacteriological standards, raising deeper questions on the genomic characteristics of E.coli in the water.

Genomic characterization of resistant Escherichia coli isolated from household water in municipal Ibadan, Nigeria Escherichia coli in water indicates recent faecal contamination and possible presence of enteric pathogens. Strains harbouring virulence and/or antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) heighten the publi...

We are pleased to share with you our new study, where we explored the diversity, AMR and the pathogenic potential of E. coli isolated from water sources in municipal Ibadan. The results revealed: multidrug resistant and potentially pathogenic strains across different water sources and LGAs.

Mitigation and detection of putative microbial contaminant reads from long-read metagenomic datasets Metagenomic sequencing of clinical samples has significantly enhanced our understanding of microbial communities. However, microbial contamination and host-derived DNA remain a major obstacle to accur...

Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates at a tertiary hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, are dominated by specific local clones rather than previously described international lineages Author summary Carbapenem resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) have emerged as a cause of hospital and community acquired infections, posing a significant threat to public health, and have hence been listed...
