Targeted probe capture metagenomics-enabled surveillance of multidrug-resistant organisms and antimicrobial resistance genes in post-handwashing areas of public washrooms
<h4>Background</h4>Public washrooms (toilets) are potential hubs for pathogen transmission, yet the risk of microbial re-contamination via post-handwashing surfaces remains understudied. We characterized the prevalence and distribution of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) …
