Abstract
Extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) are critically important antimicrobial agents for human and veterinary medicine. ESC resistance (ESC-R) genes have spread worldwide through plasmids and clonal expansion, yet the distribution and dynamics of ESC-R genes in different ecological compartments are poorly understood. Here we use whole genome sequence data of Enterobacterales isolates of human and animal origin from Europe and North America and identify contrasting temporal dynamics. AmpC β-lactamases were initially more dominant in North America in humans and farm animals, only later emerging in Europe. In contrast, specific extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) were initially common in animals from Europe and later emerged in North America. This study identifies differences in the relative importance of plasmids and clonal expansion across different compartments for the spread of different ESC-R genes. Understanding the mechanisms of transmission will be critical in the design of interventions to reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

| Additional Information: | Data availability: Illumina sequence read data generated in this study have been deposited in the ENA under BioProject PRJEB38235, PRJEB42322, PRJNA523640, PRJNA556083, PRJNA740259 and PRJEB50837 and individual accession numbers are available in Source Data file. Long-read data for the subset of 20 genomes are deposited in the ENA under BioProject PRJEB54884; the accession numbers for each genome are placed in the Source Data file. Thus, the source data (Source Data file) provided with this paper lists accession numbers for each genome analysed in this study, alongside with the isolate collection metadata generated in this study. Source data are provided with this paper.
