Phylogenetics and Mobilization of Genomic Traits of Cephalosporin-Resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> Originated from Retail Meat.

ABSTRACT: Contaminations with cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli across the food chain may pose a significant threat to public health because those antimicrobials are critically important in human medicine. The impact of the presented data is especially significant concerning Poland's role as one of the leading food producers in the EU. This work aimed to characterize the genomic contents of cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli (n = 36) isolated from retail meat to expand the official AMR monitoring reported by EFSA. The ESBL mechanism was predominant (via bla_CTX-M-1 and bla_SHV-12), with the AmpC-type represented by the bla_CMY-2 variant. The strains harbored multiple resistance genes, mainly conferring resistance to aminog
