ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVOIRS AND DISSEMINATION PATHWAYS OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE GENES IN AFRICA: A PRISMA-SCR SCOPING REVIEW
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a priority global health threat. Environmental compartments including wastewater, surface water, soils, and sediments act as important reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and are critical in sustaining and amplifying resistance beyond clinical settings.
