To characterize the genomic features of a community-acquired Acinetobacter baumannii strain, co-carrying tet(X6) and bla genes, but was susceptible to tigecycline and carbapenems. The tet(X6) and bla genes were found on a 149,518 bp non-conjugative plasmid. The bla gene was silent, due to the presence of an intact ISAba3-like element upstream, which rendered the strain susceptible to carbapenems.

- Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli poses a major public health threat due to resistance against many broad-spectrum antibiotics, particularly third-generation cephalosporins.
- International clones of CTX-M-8-producing E. coli were found in captive scorpion mud turtles in the Brazilian Amazon, showing multidrug resistance and extensive resistance genes for antimicrobials and other toxic substances.
- The presence of these resistant bacteria in captive wildlife raises concerns for wildlife safety and emphasizes the need for better surveillance and control in conservation efforts to prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
•Climate change and AMR combined worsen vulnerabilities, accelerating AMR spread.•Floods can spread AMR-related pathogens, impacting health, agriculture, and ecosystems.•Integrated strategies are needed to address climate change and AMR, enhancing sanitation.
