The identification of putative determinants conferring resistance to quinolones, erythromycin, aminoglycosides and tetracycline was performed as previously described [35 (link)]. Briefly, assembled contigs were screened for AMR-associated genes with ABRicate (version 0.8.10; https://github.com/tseemann/abricate) using the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database [36 (link)], ResFinder 3.0 [37 (link)] and the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) v3.1.0 [38 (link)], with a threshold for the identification of acquired genes of 90 % identity and 60 % minimum length. Chromosomal resistance-mediating point mutations were identified using the PointFinder database embedded in ResFinder 4.0 [39 (link)].
