Key Findings

The study identified a high prevalence of trimethoprim resistance genes (dfrA1, dfrA15, dfrA31) and other resistance genes such as floR, strA, strB, varG, blaCARB-2, aadA1, aadA2, sul1, sul2, catB9, tet(C), tet(G), tet(59), qacEdelta, and blaCMY-4 in Vibrio cholerae isolates from Africa. Fluoroquinolone resistance mutations (gyrA_S83I and parC_S85L) and nitrofuran resistance mutations (nfsA_R169C and nfsB_Q5*) were also prevalent.
