- Abstract
The article discusses research on the impact of inn-line drinking water chlorination on fecal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) among Bangladeshi children in low-income communities. The study compared the prevalence and concentration of ESBL-E. coli and ESBL-Klebsiella, Enrerobacter, Shigella and Citrobacter groups in fecal samples collected. It determined the occurrence and relative abundance of beta-lactamase genes in fecal samples.
