National genomic epidemiology investigation revealed the spread of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli in healthy populations and the impact on public health

ConclusionsOur findings underscore the significance of healthy populations-derived CRECs as a crucial reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of CREC isolates in healthy populations to accurately assess the potential risks posed by clinical CREC isolates.
