Abstract

This report provides important information on the transmission and epidemiology of fosA3 among Enterobacterales isolates from vegetables. The rate of occurrence of fosA3 in ESBL-producing Enterobacterales from retail vegetables is high, and fosA3 was found to be carried by diverse plasmids. Some novel genetic contexts of fosA3 and novel fosA3 -carrying plasmids, including several plasmid types common in K. pneumoniae , were identified, increasing the number of known transfer vectors for the fosA3 gene and reflecting the complexity of fosA3 transmission in Enterobacterales . The capture of fosA3 by the resident plasmid of K. pneumoniae will accelerate the spread of fosA3 in K. pneumoniae , one of the most pathogenic species in clinical medicine. Considering the clinical importance of fosfomycin, and the fact that vegetables are directly consumed, the fosfomycin resistance genes present a risk of transmission to the human body through the food chain and thus pose a threat to public health.
