Description
Mohammed Tanveer Hussain, with 15 colleagues, led a 2026 study of drug-resistant gut bacteria in Rohingya camps in Bangladesh. Sludge from latrines and nearby drinking water can both carry E. coli that shrug off many drugs. The team looked for strains that make ESBL, an enzyme that breaks key antibiotics.
E. coli turned up in 88.1 percent of sludge samples and 40.2 percent of water samples. About a third of sludge strains and an eighth of water strains made ESBL. The gene blaCTX-M led the list, in 81.1 percent of the resistant strains picked for gene tests. Two gut illness types were most common among the strains. Drug tests showed wide resistance. The work shows why camp water and sludge need close watch and safe handling.
