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.
Nosocomial salmonellosis in hospitalized animals is a recognized hazard, especially in large animal clinics. A standardized culture protocol (SCP) for detecting Salmonella spp. in environmental samples using a 48-h enrichment step results in a 5-day turnaround time for negative results.
