Multidrug-resistant gram-negative (MRGN) bacteria are a serious threat to global health. We used genomics tostudy MRGN obtained from houseflies in a tertiary Rwandan hospital. Our analysis revealed a high abundance ofdifferent MRGN includingE. colipathogenic lineage ST131 suggesting the important role of flies in disseminatinghighly virulent pathogens in clinical settings and beyond
Analysis based on claims data showed no clinical benefit from AGR intervention regarding theinvestigated outcomes. The slightly worse outcomes may reflect limitations in matching based on claims data,which may have insufficiently reflected morbidity and psychosocial factors. It is possible that the interventiongroup had poorer health status at baseline compared to the control group.
