A One Health study in the Kenyan Rift Valley found CTX-M group 1 genes in 14 of 79 screened bacterial isolates from migratory Little Stints, goats and water. All 13 bird and goat carriers were sampled in the pre-departure window, which points to local acquisition at shared freshwater hubs rather than import from the Arctic. The one water carrier came from an artesian borehole, not from the lake itself. Why this matters: ESBL-producing Enterobacterales beyond the clinic ESBL-producing Enterobacterales sit on the World Health Organization list of critical priority pathogens. ESBL stands for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, the enzyme class that inactivates third-generation cephalosporins such as cefotaxime, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone, the workhorse…
