Moreover, widespread antimicrobial use in Egypt increased the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In this study, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 was performed on two isolates (UPE7 and UPE139) recovered from participants with urinary tract infections to characterize their resistomes and virulomes.
