The emergence and dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) constitute a major global health problem. The environment plays an important role in the dissemination of CRE, but large-scale studies on CRE in groundwater environments in animal breeding areas are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate CRE occurrence and environmental transmission of carbapenem resistance genes in large animal breeding areas in northern China. In total, 280 well water and 102 animal feces samples in large animal breeding areas in six counties from the two provinces Inner Mongolia and Shandong in China, were screened for CRE. A total of 39 CRE were isolated and characterized with next-generation sequencing. 5.3% of well water samples were contaminated with CRE. The well water in chicken farms had the highest number of detections of CRE (15.9%). More than half of the isolates carried closely related, conjugative IncX3 plasmids with bla |
