Summary

Multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR) pose a threat to the safety of patients worldwide. Drug resistant bacteria are commonly present in hospital environments and can cause infections, often leading to outbreaks within hospitals. Cross transmission through medical staff has been proven to be a significant cause of MDR bacterial transmission in hospitals. Although some studies have shown that the detection of gut drug-resistant bacteria in healthcare workers is similar to that in healthy individuals, these studies are limited to small sample sizes and detection methods. Here, the investigator characterize the differences between ARG colonization among healthcare workers and healthy populations through deep metagenomics.
