Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant Genes in Isolated from Drinking Water in Khartoum, Sudan.

Waterborne are a major reservoir of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Carbapenem-resistance, especially when mediated by transferable carbapenemase-encoding genes, is spreading worldwide and causing dramatically limiting treatment options. In our country, studies for the detection of carbapenem resistance in drinking water do not exist; therefore, this work was carried out to determine the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant genes "bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, and bla" among isolated from drinking water in Khartoum, Sudan.
