摘要： Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are recognized by WHO as critical concerns. The high cephalosporin resistance rate in a cattle farm in 2018 prompted us to conduct long-term (2019-2023) and extensive monitoring to explore risk factors for the import and transmission of ESBLs and CPE in this farm. Among 1288 samples from cattle, the environment, milk, and biological vectors, 48.8% carried blaCTX-M-positive Enterobacterales with blaCTX-M-55 being dominant (76.4 %), and blaNDM-5-positive strains emerged in 2022 with a 1.9 % detection rate. blaCTX-M-55 and blaNDM-5 were likely introduced through various routes, especially wild birds, and have persisted due to overuse of cephalosporins in the farm. The spread of these genes was driven by the horizontal transmission of IncHI2 and IncX3 plasmids and clonal dissemination of certain clones. Cross-regional and cross-border transmission of blaCTX-M-55- and/or blaNDM-5-bearing bacteria and plasmids possibly occurred via wild birds, animal trade, and other means. Our findings suggest that the import, persistence, and dissemination of these genes within and beyond this farm, were fueled by suboptimal biosecurity practices and inadequate antibiotic stewardship, highlighting the urgency for integrated public and ecosystem health policies to prevent the spread of resistance genes as part of a holistic One Health strategy. Environmental implication: The high prevalence and long-term persistence of extended-spectrum (3-lactamases and the emergence of carbapenemases in cattle and the environment signify a critical risk of transmitting high-risk resistance genes, posing a significant threat to human health. Consequently, bacteria carrying these genes in animal farms should be regarded as "hazardous materials". Import, persistence, and dissemination of these genes within and beyond this farm were exacerbated by suboptimal biosecurity practices and inadequate antibiotic stewardship, highlighting the urgency for integrated public and ecosystem health policies to mitigate the environmental risks associated with gene transmission as part of a comprehensive One Health strategy.
