Genes fuel antibiotic resistance in Yemen cholera epidemic
Genes imparting resistance to multiple antibiotics emerged in the Vibrio cholerae bacterial strains responsible for the ongoing Yemen cholera epidemic around 2018, following changes in antibiotic treatment, according to a study published in Nature Microbiology. These findings emphasize the importance of tracking pathogen genomes to monitor the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains that increase human morbidity and mortality. The cholera outbreak…
