Rapidly spreading Enterobacterales with OXA-48-like carbapenemases [PDF]
Enterobacterales (mostly Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli) with OXA-48-like carbapenemases (e.g., OXA-48, -181, -232, -244) are undermining the global efficiency of carbapenem therapy. In the Middle East, North Africa, and some European countries,

Discovery of bla(OXA-199), a chromosome-based bla(OXA-48)-like variant, in Shewanella xiamenensis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: bla(OXA-48) is a globally emerging carbapenemase-encoding gene. The progenitor of bla(OXA-48) appears to be a Shewanella species. The presence of the bla(OXA-48)-like gene was investigated for two Shewanella xiamenensis strains.

Emergence of OXA-48-like Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli in Baranya County, Hungary [PDF]
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) producing OXA-48-like carbapenemase was first detected in Hungary in 2022. The aim of the present study was to characterize such strains isolated in 2022–2025 in Baranya County, Hungary.

Clinical outcomes of carbapenem therapy in OXA-48–producing Enterobacterales infections: a French multicentre cohort, systematic review, and meta-analysis [PDF]
OXA-48–producing Enterobacterales (OXA-48-PE) represent a growing global health threat. Most of OXA-48–PE remain categorized susceptible to carbapenems, which might encourage their use despite uncertain clinical efficacy.

Spread of the blaOXA-48/IncL Plasmid within and between Dogs in City Parks, France
The blaOXA-48/IncL plasmid is increasingly reported in dogs, even in the absence of carbapenem use in animals. In this study, we witnessed the spread of this plasmid within and between dogs sharing the same relaxing area.
