Background: The global spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL)-producing Escherichia coli has been considered a One Health issue that demands continuous genomic epidemiology surveillance in humans and non-human hosts.

Objectives: To report the occurrence and genomic data of ESβL-producing E. coli strains isolated from South American llamas inhabiting a protected area with public access in the Andean Highlands of Peru.

During a surveillance study conducted to assess the occurrence and genomic landscape of critical priority pathogens circulating at the human-animal-environment interface in Brazil, as part of the Grand Challenges Explorations-New Approaches to Characterize the Global Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance program, two multidrug-resistant (MDR) Citrobacter portucalensis carrying extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes, isolated from green sea turtles, were characterized. Genomic and phylogeographical analysis of C. portucalensis genomes available in public databases revealed the intercontinental dissemination of clades carrying different arrays of clinically relevant genes conferring resistance to carbapenems, broad-spectrum cephalosporins, cephamycins, aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones, disinfectants, and heavy metals.
