چکیده
OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing organisms have emerged rapidly worldwide and may be transmitted through patients who receive medical care abroad. To our knowledge, this is the second case of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a patient who had returned to Japan after receiving treatment abroad.

Carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae in Spain in 2012.
We report the epidemiological impact of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in Spain in 2012. Of the 237 carbapenemases detected, 163 were from the OXA-48 group, 60 were from VIM-1, 8 were from KPC-2, 5 were from IMP, and 1 was from NDM-1. Interhospital spread of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was due to a limited number of multilocus sequence types (MLST) and carbap...
متن کاملEvaluation of three selective chromogenic media, CHROMagar ESBL, CHROMagar CTX-M and CHROMagar KPC, for the detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA-48 carbapenemase.
Three selective chromogenic culture media (CHROMagars ESBL, CTX-M and KPC) were evaluated for their ability to support the growth of nine Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates producing OXA-48 carbapenemase in combination with other β-lactamases. CHROMagar ESBL and CHROMagar KPC were the most sensitive media, supporting growth of all isolates with a detection limit as low as < 100 CFU/ml. Five isolate...

We report the emergence of OXA-232, a newly described OXA-48-like carbapenemase variant, in Southeast Asia. Molecular characterization of eight Klebsiella pneumoniae obtained from local and foreign patients reveals clonality of the isolates. bla OXA-232 was located on a non-conjugative plasmid of 6141 base pairs (GenBank accession number JX423831.1).
متن کاملA silent outbreak due to Klebsiella pneumoniae that co-produced NDM-1 and OXA-48 carbapenemases, and infection control measures
Objective(s): Infections due to carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we report a hospital outbreak due to co-producing OXA-48 and NDM-1 K. pneumoniae clone. The aim of the study is to investigate the clonal relationship of strains, risk factors of outbreak and infection control measures.<em...

Klebsiella pneumoniae KpO3210 is a OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing isolate obtained from a blood culture in the context of an outbreak in Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid, Spain) in 2010. It belongs to the major clone detected during the outbreak and is resistant to all beta-lactams and to several other antibiotics.
