Description
Bacteria that defeat carbapenems, the antibiotics of last resort, turn up in dogs as well as people, raising fears of germs hopping between pets and owners. Nwai Oo Khine and co-authors compared such bacteria from Bangkok dogs and patients in 2024, sequencing fifty-two resistant isolates. The same successful strain type appeared in both hosts, and resistance plasmids overlapped.
Yet fine-grained family trees showed no clone shared between dog and human isolates: each host seems to acquire the bacteria independently. The authors say the overlap in types still warns that cross-species spread is possible under the right conditions, and they urge joint monitoring of animals and people.
