| Resumo |
We evaluated the pet food contained in thirty packages as potential origin of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Gram-negative organisms and β-lactamase genes (bla). Alive bacteria were not detected by selective culture. However, PCR investigations on food DNA extracts indicated that samples harbored blaCTX-M-15 (53.3%), blaCMY-4 (20%), and blaVEB-4-like (6.7%). Particularly worrisome was the presence of blaOXA-48-like carbapenemases (13.3%). Original pet food ingredients and/or the production process were highly contaminated with bacteria carrying clinically relevant acquired bla genes. |
