Emergence of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA-232 carbapenemase in Singapore

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 6...

Sumario: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).
