Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed contamination levels of fresh produce by ESBLs-producing Enterobacterales and AmpC-producing Enterobacterales in Tebessa, Algeria, analyzing 132 samples (67 vegetables and 65 fruits).
- - Results showed a 19.40% prevalence of resistant Enterobacterales in vegetables, while fruits tested negative; all isolates exhibited multidrug resistance with notable resistance to most β-lactams.
- - Genetic analysis identified several uncommon ESBL gene variants in seven strains, with a specific gene showing dominance, highlighting significant contamination in vegetables and the emergence of new resistance genes in Algeria.
