Multicenter exploration of microbial communities in hospital toilets reveals: antibiotic exposure in nosocomial settings selects for Enterococcus over commensal taxa

Abstract Background Excessive antibiotic utilization in hospital settings catalyzes the emergence and dissemination of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria, with sanitary facilities serving as critical vectors for their propagation. This study investigated the impact of patient antibiotic exposure on...
