Patterns of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli isolates from Nepal
This project will support the One Health ESBL E. coli Tricycle project that was established as an integrated surveillance system to monitor antimicrobial resistance in E. coli isolates from humans, food, and the environment across Nepal. The Centre will analyse Tricycle project ESBL E. coli isolates from different sources to evaluate their clonal relatedness and identify mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance.
