Figure 3 Percentage of different AMR genes detected in ESBL-producing Escherichia coli isolates from three sources: humans (blue), cattle (orange), and abattoir environments (dark green) in Nigeria (Aworh et al., 2022). Each bar represents the total number of isolates carrying a specific resistance gene (named under each bar), grouped by antimicrobial class. The data was generated using WGS, enabling detailed comparison of gene distribution across the human-animal-environment interface (Nilsson, 2025).

 2.2 How can WGS surveillance supplement phenotypic surveillance?
