Popis: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a prevalent global health problem across human and veterinary medicine. The One Health approach to AMR is necessary to mitigate transmission between sources of resistance and decrease the spread of resistant bacteria among humans, animals, and the environment. Our primary goal was to identify associations in resistance traits between Escherichia coli isolated from clinical (n = 103), dairy manure (n = 65), and freshwater ecosystem (n = 64) environments within the same geographic location and timeframe. Clinical E. coli isolates showed the most phenotypic resistance (47.5%), followed by environmental isolates (15.6%) and manure isolates (7.7%), with the most common resistances to ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and cefotaxime antibiotics. An isolate subset was screened for extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production resulting in the identification of 35 ESBL producers. The most common ESBL gene identified was blaTEM-1. Additionally, we found nine different plasmid replicon types including IncFIA-FIB, which were frequently associated with ESBL producer isolates. Molecular phylotyping revealed a significant portion of clinical E. coli were associated with phylotype B2, whereas manure and environmental isolates were more diverse. Manure and environmental isolates were significantly different from clinical isolates based on analyzed traits, suggesting more transmission occurs between these two sources in the sampled environment.
