Article Synopsis
- Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are a serious global public health threat, causing life-threatening infections and highlighting the relationship between antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and environmental factors.
- Evidence shows that carbapenemase genes are present in the environment, contributing to the spread of resistance and leading to limited treatment options.
- To prevent the worsening of this public health challenge, effective environmental measures and a 'one health' strategy involving various stakeholders are essential for controlling the spread of resistant genes.
