Humans and animals can be colonized with these enteric pathogens and can develop infections which are difficult or impossible to treat. Learn about the impact of this overlooked threat in veterinary medicine, including risk factors, how to detect colonization and infection, what to do if CRE is detected, and how to prevent transmission within your clinic.
