<p>Using a cross-sectional study, freshly passed fecal specimens were collected for bacterial isolation. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AMST) was conducted using the disk diffusion method. Illumina NextSeq550 (Illumina, Singapore) 300-cycle kit produced paired-end 149bp long reads in whole genome sequencing (WGS). The raw reads were quality-filtered and trimmed, and a minimum length of 50bp was retained and taxonomically classified using MiniKraken version 1. The data were aligned with Antibiotic Resistance Gene (ARG) sequences of the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) by Resistance Gene Identifier (RGI). Plasmids were analyzed using Mykrobe. Additionally, AMR and virulence genes were screened at the Centre for Genomic Epidemiology (CGE) web-based server.&nbsp;</p>
