DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2015.11.030
Abstract: Since recently Enterobacteriaceae carrying blaVIM-1 genes have been isolated in German animal husbandries, the monitoring of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in livestock became a major topic within the European Union. Nevertheless, due to missing surveillance… read more here.
