Oxacillinase-484-Producing Enterobacterales, France, 2018-2023

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Oct;30(10):2178-2182. doi: 10.3201/eid3010.240814.

Abstract

We examined the emergence and characteristics of oxacillinase-484-producing Enterobacterales in France during 2012-2023. Genomic analysis identified 2 predominant sequence types in Escherichia coli: ST410 and ST1722. Plasmid analysis revealed that blaOXA-484 genes were carried mostly on an IncX3-type plasmid associated with genetic elements including insertion sequences IS3000 and ISKpn19.
