Published: March 2018

Six imported pigs originating from Guangdong, Henan, and Hunan provinces in China during October 2015 to February 2017 were cultured and found to be positive for meropenem-resistant The samples yielded 9 isolates of diverse sequence types carrying on IncX3 (8 isolates from 5 farms) or IncFII (1 isolate from 1 farm) plasmids. The gene was coharbored by 4 isolates. The IncX3 plasmids (∼46 kb) carrying were identical or nearly identical to each other.

Background: 'One Health' initiatives to tackle the rising risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have flourished due to increasing detection of Enterobacterales producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases (CPs).

Objectives: This study aimed to conduct an in-depth holistic analysis of Escherichia coli (Ec) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) isolates recovered from landfill-foraging white stork faecal samples and clinical isolates from a nearby hospital.

Methods: Faecal samples (n = 211) were collected from storks foraging at two landfills in Spain.
