We report isolation of a New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-5-producing carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli sequence type 167 from companion animals in the United States. Reports of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in companion animals are rare. We describe a unique cluster of bla-producing E. coli in a veterinary hospital.

Article Synopsis
  • Melanoma is a severe skin cancer that starts from melanocytes, and existing rodent models have limitations in mirroring human conditions.
  • Researchers have created a transgenic pig model that mimics human melanoma using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), enabling better study of the disease.
  • This new model allows for the investigation of melanoma development and response to treatments, providing a significant resource for advancing cancer research and drug testing.
