Detection of a genetically related carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli ST167 in clinical and environmental isolates: Evidence for clonal spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in humans and the environment in Iowa, United States
The occurrence of BO1 was temporally and spatially close to that of one clinical strain, IA0018, implying the clonal spread of CPEs among humans and the environment, although the source and directionality of this spread remains unknown. This report illustrates the need for the strict control of CPEs in health care facilities and continuous surveillance within clinical and environmental settings to trace and prevent CPE transmission.
