In this study, 18 isolates from humans, animals and soil, collected between 2005 and 2017 across different country regions, were reactivated and analyzed. We identified antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence factors, plasmids, and their phylogenetic relationships using next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics tools.
