Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Genomic Profiles of Multidrug-Resistant from Nasopharynx of Asymptomatic Children in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Children carrying in their nasopharynx are at a higher risk of contracting systemic infection. Due to lack of sufficient information regarding such carriage, this study was conducted to explore the prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility, and genomic profiles of isolated from nasopharyngeal samples of 163 randomly selected asymptomatic Bangladeshi children aged from 5-<15 years. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern and genomic analysis of the samples were conducted using standard microbiological methods and genomic tools.
