Description
Henry Badji and co-authors lay out protocols in a 2026 article for using genome sequencing to trace gut bacteria that cause diarrhea across Africa. The GETCampy-Africa study sits inside a One Health frame.
Standard lab work shows where these germs are but cannot resolve fine strain differences, drug resistance, or spread paths. The study uses a case-control design across several countries, sampling people, animals, and the environment. Genome data will pin down which sources feed human illness and how strains move. The protocols give other teams a shared method for high-resolution gut germ tracking.
