Enterobacter spp. are an important cause of healthcare-associated bloodstream infections uncommonly reported in Africa. This study used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to characterise Enterobacter spp. from hospitals in Nigerias antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance system. Blood-culture isolates of Enterobacter from six such tertiary-care hospitals recovered between 2014 and 2020 were re-identified and antimi…
