The hazard of carbapenemase (OXA-181)-producing Escherichia coli spreading in pig and veal calf holdings in Italy in the genomics era: Risk of spill over and spill back between humans and animals

Abstract excerpt

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are considered a major public health issue. In the frame of the EU Harmonized AMR Monitoring program conducted in Italy in 2021, 21 epidemiological units of fattening pigs (6.98%; 95% CI 4.37–10.47%; 21/301) and four epidemiological units of bovines <12 months (1.29%; 95% CI 0.35–3.27%, 4/310) resulted positive to OXA-48-like-producing E. coli (n = 24 OXA-181, n = 1...
