Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a disproportionate burden in low- and middle-income countries, yet comprehensive environmental surveillance, particularly for plasmid-mediated resistance, remains critically limited in sub-Saharan Africa. Wastewater systems harbour diverse microbial communities with a high potential to mobilise antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), thereby driving the environmental dissemination of resistance.
