The spread of antibiotic resistance is a major concern in the setting of azithromycin mass drug distribution for childhood mortality. We performed long-read whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic resistance analysis on isolated from the nasopharynx of Nigerien children from communities treated with either six twice-yearly azithromycin distributions or placebo. Here, we showed that co-selection for macrolide, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole genetic resistance was detected with repeated azithromycin mass drug distributions.CLINICAL TRIALSThis study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02047981.
