摘要： Due to their unique breeding pattern, aquatic bird farms are increasingly considered as hotspots in the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. However, comprehensive studies addressing the whole-genomic features of colistin-resistant bacteria in aquatic bird farms are scarce. Over a 2-year period, we conducted surveillance to determine the whole-genome epidemiology and characterisation of mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli in aquatic bird farms in southeastern coastal China. A total of 100 mcr-1-producing isolates among 654 E. coli strains were recovered from 781 samples collected in 11 aquatic bird farms and 1 veterinary clinic in the Pearl River Delta area. Higher resistance phenotypes to 17 antibiotics were found in mcr-1-positive isolates compared with other isolates. Subsequently, 20 mcr-1-carrying isolates were sequenced to analyse the whole-genomic features. Molecular typing as well as antimicrobial resistance gene and virulence factor profiles of the isolates showed considerable diversity. Three types of genetic backbones of mcr-1 in the isolates were assembled and were identified in diverse broad-hostrange plasmids and bacterial species. Pangenome analyses revealed a large genetic pool composed of the isolates. Furthermore, phylogenetic trees both of the isolates in this study and a global data set were built, indicating the spread of the three mcr-1 backbones and the mcr-1-positive isolates among different habitats, farms and even countries. This study highlights that aquatic bird farms may act as an important reservoir for mcr-1-producing E. coli, from which colistin resistance may be spread to diverse habitats, different geographical locations and even across bacterial species.
