The PCR was applied to confirm the presence of selected genes encoding resistance to some beta-lactams and genes encoding resistance to quinolones carried on plasmids. Using whole-genome sequencing, we evaluated resistance genotypes, sequence types, serotypes, plasmid replicons, and virulence genes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results and discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 266 rectal samples obtained from the calves, 128 (48%) harbored cefotaxime-resistant\n                      <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                      .

Sequence typing revealed significant clonal diversity, with 21 different STs detected among 68 sequenced isolates. ST10 was the most prevalent (27%), followed by ST69 (12%), ST29 (7%) and others. The phylogenetic distribution showed a predominance of commensal groups A (54%) and B1 (21%). The most common serotypes included O101:H9 (21%), O15:H18 (12%), H12, and O70:H11 (7%). Analysis of plasmid content revealed a complex distribution of 18 distinct plasmid replicon types, especially IncF, followed by Col-type and IncI1-type plasmids. Cross-species transmission was indicated by the detection of clonal strains shared between calves and caretakers, notably ST10-O101:H9 and ST34-O68:H30. The prevalence of high-risk clones and the presence of mobile resistance elements underscore the urgent need for stringent monitoring, antimicrobial stewardship, and improved biosecurity measures in
