Abstract:AimsTo estimate the prevalence of carbapenemase‐producing Enterobacterales (CPE) carriage among pets using faecal specimens submitted to veterinary diagnostic laboratories throughout the US. A secondary aim was to employ whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) to characterize isolates of CPE from companion animals and compare them to publicly available CPE genomes.Methods and ResultsTo estimate the prevalence of CPE in companion animals in the USA, a multicenter surveillance study including 8 different veterinary diagno… Show more
