Human-wildlife ecological interactions shape Escherichia coli population and resistome in two sloth species from Costa Rica

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern, with natural ecosystems acting as reservoirs for resistant bacteria. We assessed AMR in Escherichia coli isolated from two wild sloth species in Costa Rica. E. coli from two-toed sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni), a species with greater...
