Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose a global public health risk, and this study investigates how the environment, particularly wild birds, contributes to their spread, focusing on samples from various regions including Alaska, Spain, and Turkey.*
-
- Researchers found high diversity in carbapenemases among gulls and black kites, with specific genetic variants being notably present, although evidence of spatial dissemination was not as strong, aside from connections among a few regions.*
-
- The findings suggest wild birds could be good indicators of CRE presence in the environment, highlighting the role of human activity in the transmission of these resistant bacteria, as many of the isolates displayed significant antibiotic resistance.*
