Study setting showing sewage treatment plants (STP) in Brasília, Brazil, and the distribution of blaKPC-or-NDM-positive GNB recovered from raw sewage (RS) and (B) from water bodies downstream (DW) from STPs. The insert at the bottom right displays the geographic position of the city of Brasília (red pin) located on a plateau in the central-western region of Brazil. Sewage treatment plants (blue pins), hospitals (red signals and dots) and intensive management livestock farms (black dots) are indicated. The proportional distribution among the surveyed STPs of 64 blaKPC-or-NDM strains recovered from raw sewage (A) and 27 blaKPC-or-NDM strains recovered from DW samples (B) is shown
