- The 2018 scientific white paper from the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Wellcome Trust entitled "Initiatives for Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment Current Situation and Challenges" (https://wellcome.org/sites/default/files/antimicrobial-resistance-environment-report.pdf) uses this paper to show the scale multi-drug resistance in surface waters in a large SE Asian city. The paper shows that 40% of the pathogens in Delhi drains are on the UN critical list of untreatable infections, which the CDC uses to argue for improved sanitation at wide scales in cities across the emerging and developing world.
