Abstract
This study investigated the presence of extended-spectrum {beta}-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales in selected surface waters in the Ashanti Region in Ghana. Subsequent genomic analysis revealed that one-fifth of the isolates were genotypically carbapenem-resistant. Phenotypic susceptibility testing not only confirmed their carbapenem resistance, but also uncovered two cefiderocol-resistant isolates.
