Human Cases of Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Linked to Spread Between Animals and the Environment in a Veterinary Facility—Massachusetts, USA, 2023
This report suggests the potential for transmission of blaNDM-5-harboring E. coli between animals and people. There is an urgent need to invest resources and develop a One Health approach to support veterinary facilities in recognizing and preventing transmission of CPE to limit spread within communities. Physicians, veterinarians, and public health professionals conducting outbreak investigations should be aware of this potential route of CPE spread.
