  abstract = {{W}ild animal species living in anthropogenic areas are commonly carriers of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria ({AMRB}), but their role in the epidemiology of these bacteria is unclear. {S}everal studies on {AMRB} in wildlife have been cross-sectional in design and sampled individual animals at only one point in time. {T}o further understand the role of wildlife in maintaining and potentially transmitting these bacteria to humans and livestock, longitudinal studies are needed in which samples are collected from individual animals over multiple time periods. {I}n {E}urope, free-ranging yellow-legged gulls ({L}arus michahellis) commonly live in industrialized areas, forage in landfills, and have been found to carry {AMRB} in their feces. {U}sing bacterial metagenomics and antimicrobial resistance characterization, we investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of {AMRB} in a nesting colony of yellow-legged gulls from an industrialized area in southern {F}rance. {W}e collected 54 cloacal swabs from 31 yellow-legged gull chicks in 20 nests on three dates in 2016. {W}e found that {AMRB} in chicks increased over time and was not spatially structured within the gull colony. {T}his study highlights the complex occurrence of {AMRB} in a free-ranging wildlife species and contributes to our understanding of the public health risks and implications associated with {ARMB}-carrying gulls living in anthropogenic areas.},
