Intensive infection control responses and whole genome sequencing to interrupt and resolve widespread transmission of OXA-181 <i>Escherichia coli</i> in a hospital setting

2019-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> OXA-48-like carbapenemases have become increasingly prevalent in healthcare settings worldwide. Their low-level activity against carbapenems makes them difficult to identify, causing problems for infection control. Here we present an outbreak of Escherichia coli producing OXA-181 (part of the OXA-48 family of carbapenemases) in a Queensland Hospital, and describe how we used whole genome sequ...
