The occurrence and characterization of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae from companion animals in Guangzhou, China, are investigated. Six isolates (2.3%, 6/257) were positive for , that is, one , one , and four . Three isolates obtained from the same animal hospital were ST410 and showed identical pulse field gel electrophoresis pattern, resistance profiles, and resistance genes. was located on IncX3 ( = 5) and IncK2 ( = 1) plasmid, respectively. The presence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae among companion animals needs continued surveillance.

In total, 126 tissue-pooled samples were collected from suspected sick chickens showing signs of stunted growth, weakness, and diarrhea in five provinces/cities in Northern Vietnam. The Gyrovirus gala 1 (GyVg1) genome was detected in 26 (20.63%) of the 126 chicken samples based on a polymerase chain reaction assay.
