Abstract excerpt
OXA-48 is the most common carbapenemase in Enterobacterales in Germany and many other European countries. Depending on the genomic location of blaOXA-48, OXA-48-producing isolates vary in phenotype and intra- and interspecies transferability of blaOXA-48. In most bacterial isolates, blaOXA-48 is located on one of seven variants of Tn1999 (Tn1999.1 to Tn1999.6 and invTn1999.2). Here, a novel Tn1999 variant,...
