Occurrence and Transmission of bla_NDM-Carrying Enterobacteriaceae from Geese and the Surrounding Environment on a Commercial Goose Farm.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the prevalence and transmission of NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae in fecal samples of geese and environmental samples from a goose farm in southern China. The samples were cultivated on MacConkey agar plates supplemented with meropenem. Individual colonies were examined for bla_NDM, and bla_NDM-positive bacteria were characterized based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from the Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platforms. Of 117 samples analyzed, the carriage rates for New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-positive Enterobacteriaceae were 47.1, 18, and 50% in geese, inanimate environments (sewage, soil, fodder, and dust), and mouse samples, respectively. Two variants (bla_NDM-1 and bla
