Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) pose serious threats to public health. Compared with clinical CPE, the genetic characteristics of environmental CPE are not well understood. This study aimed to characterize the genetic determinants of carbapenem resistance in CPE isolated from environmental waters in Japan.
