  "abstract": "<p><strong>Summary</strong><br>\n<em>Citrobacter spp., Enterobacter hormaechei subsp.,&nbsp;Klebsiella variicola</em> and <em>Proteae </em>tribe members are&nbsp;rarely isolated&nbsp; <em>Enterobacterales</em> increasingly implicated&nbsp;in nosocomial infections. Herein, we show that&nbsp;these species contain multiple genes encoding resistance&nbsp;to important antibiotics and are widely and&nbsp;globally distributed, being isolated from human, animal,<br>\nplant, and environmental sources in 67 countries.&nbsp;Certain clones and clades of these species were&nbsp;internationally disseminated, serving as reservoirs&nbsp;and mediums for the global dissemination of antibiotic&nbsp;resistance genes. As they can easily transmit<br>\nthese genes to more pathogenic species, additional&nbsp;molecular surveillance studies should be undertaken&nbsp;to identify and contain these antibiotic-resistant&nbsp;species.</p>",
