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.

NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli are the predominant carbapenemase producers of medical and public health importance. The global spread of bla-containing plasmids in high-risk E. coli clones has been primarily documented in humans and increasingly reported in animals and the environment.

Here, the draft genome sequence of a multi-drug resistant (MDR) strain BMD28, isolated from a clinical source from Dhaka, Bangladesh, has been reported. The sequence raw read files were generated using Illumina sequencing technology utilizing genomic DNA from the pure culture of this strain. The strain has a genome size of around 5.

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.

Klebsiella pneumoniae multidrug-resistant (MDR) high-risk clones drive the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) associated infections, resulting in limited therapeutic options. This study described the genomic characteristics of K. pneumoniae MDR high-risk clones in Gauteng, South Africa.
