Zooanthroponotic Transmission of Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Brazil

Year: 2018

Type: article

Study design: Case Report

Abstract: We recovered VIM-2 carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from an infected dog, its owner, and the domestic environment. Genomic investigation revealed household transmission of the high-risk hospital clone sequence type 233 in the human-animal-environment interface. Results suggest zooanthroponotic transmission of VIM-2-producing P. aeruginosa in the household following the patient's hospital discharge.
