First Report of OXA-181-Producing Enterobacterales Isolates in Latin America [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
We characterized five carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) isolates from two health care institutions in Lima, Peru. The isolates were identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 3), Citrobacter portucalensis (n = 1), and Escherichia coli (n = 1).

Molecular, Genetic, and Biochemical Characterization of OXA-484 Carbapenemase, a Difficult-to-Detect R214G Variant of OXA-181 [PDF]

Microorganisms
OXA-244, an R214G variant of OXA-48, is silently spreading worldwide likely because of difficulties in detection using classical screening media. Here, we characterized two clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Citrobacter youngae that displayed ...
