WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a serious public health threat worldwide. However, the AR and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) data from West Africa, especially from Sierra Leone, are limited.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: The study revealed ARGs' common dissemination, and multiplex antibiotic resistance genes in one sample. Genes and were first discovered in Sierra Leone.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: Basic information is provided for AR research and surveillance and highlights that effective AR surveillance among diarrhea patients is necessary for Sierra Leone and West Africa.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:抗生素耐药性(AR)是全球范围内严重的公共卫生威胁。然而,来自西非,尤其是来自塞拉利昂的抗生素耐药性和抗生素耐药基因(ARGs)数据有限。
本报告补充了哪些内容?:该研究揭示了ARGs的普遍传播以及一个样本中的多重抗生素耐药基因。基因 和 首次在塞拉利昂被发现。
对公共卫生实践有何启示?:为AR研究和监测提供了基础信息,并强调对塞拉利昂和西非腹泻患者进行有效的AR监测是必要的。
