Epidemiological Characteristics of OXA-232-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated during Nosocomial Clonal Spread Associated with Environmental Colonization [PDF]
Here, a program was designed to surveil the colonization and associated infection of OXA-232-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) (OXA-232-CRKP) in an intensive care unit (ICU) and to describe the epidemiological characteristics ...

Increased clonal dissemination of OXA-232-producing ST15 Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhejiang, China from 2018 to 2021 [PDF]
Background OXA-232-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was first identified in China in 2016, and its clonal transmission was reported in 2019. However, there are no prevalence and genotypic surveillance data available for OXA-232 in China.

Polyclonal Dissemination of OXA-232 Carbapenemase–Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, France, 2013–2021 [PDF]
During 2013–2021, increased prevalence of oxacillinase 232–producing Enterobacterales was observed in France, mostly driven by its emergence in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Whole-genome sequencing identified that oxacillinase 232–producing K.

Isolation of Hv-CRKP with co-production of three carbapenemases (blaKPC, blaOXA-181 or OXA-232, and blaNDM-1) and a virulence plasmid: a study from a Chinese tertiary hospital [PDF]
BackgroundThe worldwide dissemination of K. pneumoniae isolates is a significant public health concern, as these organisms possess a unique capacity to acquire genetic elements encoding both resistance and hypervirulence.

Outer membrane vesicles mediating horizontal transfer of the epidemic blaOXA-232 carbapenemase gene among Enterobacterales [PDF]
OXA-232 is one of the most common OXA-48-like carbapenemase derivatives and is widely disseminated in nosocomial settings across countries. The blaOXA-232 gene is located on a 6-kb non-conjugative ColKP3-type plasmid, while the dissemination of blaOXA ...

A Nationwide Genomic Study of Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae Carrying blaOXA-232 and rmtF in China [PDF]
OXA-232 carbapenemase is becoming a threat in China due to its high prevalence, mortality, and limited treatment options. However, little information is available on the impact of OXA-232-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in China.

Emergence of blaNDM-5 and blaOXA-232 Positive Colistin- and Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Bulgarian Hospital [PDF]
The rapid spread of carbapenemase-producing strains has led to increased levels of resistance among Gram-negative bacteria, especially enterobacteria. The current study aimed to collect and genetically characterize the colistin- and carbapenem-resistant ...
