Slaughtered swine as convergence hotspots for antimicrobial-resistant and disinfectant-tolerant Escherichia coli originating from humans and farm animals
, floR, and qac, linking 3GCR, farm-associated phenicol resistance, and disinfectant tolerance in a single hotspot. A gene-based XGBoost source-attribution model identified slaughterhouses as critical convergence nodes for high-risk E. coli and mobile resistance elements.
