סיכום:<p>This study aimed to determine the prevalence and abundance of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli (AR-Ec) among people and drinking water in high (Hajiganj, &gt;100 μg/L) and low arsenic-contaminated (Matlab, &lt;20 μg/L) areas in Bangladesh. Drinking water and stool from mothers and their children (&lt;1 year) were collected from 50 households per area. AR-Ec was detected via selective culture plating and isolates were tested for antibiotic resistance, arsenic resistance, and diarrheagenic genes by PCR. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis was done for 30 E. coli isolates from 10 households.</p> <br> <p>Related publication: Amin M.B., Talukdar, P.K., Asaduzzaman, M., Roy, S., Flatgard, B.M., et al.
