This is the first study on the prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) clinical strains from companion animals in Portugal. Despite the generally low prevalence of CPE in companion animals, it is imperative for veterinary diagnostic laboratories to employ diagnostic methods for carbapenemase detection. The resemblance found in the mobile genetic elements transporting carbapenemase genes between veterinary medicine and human medicine implies a potential circulation within a One Health framework.
