Sumario:Our study provides novel insights into the global nature of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) plasmids across the food chain. We provide compelling evidence of the globetrotting nature of AMR plasmids and the need for surveillance to sequence plasmids with a template of analyses for others to expand these data. The AMR plasmids analysed were detected in 63 countries and in samples from humans, animals and the environment. They contained a combination of known and novel AMR genes, metal resistance genes, virulence factors, phage and replicon types.
