Pathogenicity of Clinical OXA-48 Isolates and Impact of the OXA-48 IncL Plasmid on Virulence and Bacterial Fitness [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
OXA-48 is the most common carbapenemase in Enterobacterales in Germany and one of the most frequent carbapenemases worldwide. Several reports have associated blaOXA–48 with a virulent host phenotype.

Molecular analysis of OXA-48-producing Escherichia coli in Switzerland from 2019 to 2020. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
OXA-48-type ß-lactamases are the most prevalent carbapenemase-type in Enterobacterales in Switzerland, predominantly found in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Treatment of Infections by OXA-48-Producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2018
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) contribute significantly to the global public health threat of antimicrobial resistance. OXA-48 and its variants are unique carbapenemases with low-level hydrolytic activity toward carbapenems but no intrinsic activity against expanded-spectrum cephalosporins.

Multiscale simulations identify origins of differential carbapenem hydrolysis by the OXA-48 β-lactamase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
OXA-48 β-lactamases are frequently encountered in bacterial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Due to the importance of carbapenems in treatment of healthcare-associated infections, and the increasingly wide dissemination ...

OXA-48-like carbapenemases: the phantom menace [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2012
OXA-48-type carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases are increasingly reported in enterobacterial species. To date, six OXA-48-like variants have been identified, with OXA-48 being the most widespread. They differ by a few amino acid substitutions or deletions (one to five amino acids).

Unique Diacidic Fragments Inhibit the OXA-48 Carbapenemase and Enhance the Killing of Escherichia coli Producing OXA-48

open access: yes, 2021
Despite the advances in β-lactamase inhibitor development, limited options exist for the class D carbapenemase known as OXA-48. OXA-48 is one of the most prevalent carbapenemases in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections and is not ...

Epidemic spread of OXA-48 beta-lactamase in Croatia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology, 2018
A dramatic increase in OXA-48 β-lactamase was observed recently not only in large hospital centres, but also in smaller suburban hospital centres in geographic areas bordering Croatia. The aim of the study was to analyse the epidemiology, the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and the routes of spread of OXA-48 carbapenemase in Croatia.Carbapenemase ...

Small Changes in Hydration Determine Cephalosporinase Activity of OXA-48 β-Lactamases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
β-lactamase mediated antibiotic resistance threatens treatment of bacterial infections. OXA-48 enzymes are clinically important class D serine β-lactamases (SBLs) that confer resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. However, OXA-48

Spread of OXA-48-Encoding Plasmid in Turkey and Beyond [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2010
ABSTRACT Eighteen carbapenem-resistant, OXA-48-positive enterobacterial isolates recovered from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, France, and Belgium were analyzed. In most isolates, similar 70-kb plasmids carrying the carbapenemase gene bla OXA-48 were identified.
