Genetic Diversity, Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Screening, and Potential Public Health Implications of Gram-Negative Bacteria Recovered from Man-Made Lakes and Surrounding Vegetables.

ABSTRACT: The emergence and dissemination of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria pose a major public health threat, necessitating a One Health approach to addressing this threat. Thus, the diversity, ESBL production, and potential public health implications of Gram-negative bacteria recovered from man-made lakes and surrounding lettuce in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire were assessed in this study. Also, the lakes' physicochemical parameters were assessed and correlated with bacteria community using Pearson correlation. A total of 68 Gram-negative bacterial isolates were recovered from the samples and identified via 16S rDNA gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis suggested multiple genus-/species-level variations within the isolates. Escherichia coli was the most pre
