Distribution of antibiotic resistance genes and integrons among Shigella spp. isolated from water sources

ConclusionsOverall, this study showed that Shigella spp. are prevalent in water sources. Furthermore, the potential role of the ARGs and integrons in the emergence of MDR phenotype in Shigella spp. isolates of water origin was demonstrated.
