Article Synopsis
- Untreated wastewater in Nigeria is linked to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers.
- Researchers isolated and tested 143 resistant bacteria from untreated wastewater and contaminated groundwater, revealing that 79.7% produced ESBL.
- This study highlights untreated wastewater as a significant public health risk in Nigeria, marking the first identification of specific ESBL genes in local water sources.

The emergence of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a major public health concern worldwide. In this study, the prevalence and molecular basis of colistin resistance in CRKP isolated from healthy individuals and patients in Lao PDR, Thailand, Nigeria and France were investigated. Stool samples were screened by culture for the presence of colistin-resistant Klebsiella spp.
