Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) in pets by analyzing fecal samples from various veterinary labs across the US, finding a low prevalence of 0.21%.
- - Researchers conducted surveillance by screening approximately 2,393 fecal specimens from dogs and cats, identifying 196 isolates, with five confirmed as carbapenemase producers through genomic sequencing.
- - The findings highlight a genetic similarity between certain CPE isolates from pets and those found in humans, suggesting the need for continued monitoring of CPE in companion animals.
Background: Infectious necrotic hepatitis (INH) is typically a disease of ruminants caused by Clostridium novyi type B. Growth of the causative agent is supported by development of an anaerobic environment within the liver. In dogs, C.
