ABSTRACT
OXA-535 is a chromosome-encoded carbapenemase of Shewanella bicestrii JAB-1 that shares only 91.3% amino acid sequence identity with OXA-48. Catalytic efficiencies are similar to those of OXA-48 for most ß-lactams, except for ertapenem, where a 2,000-fold-higher efficiency was observed with OXA-535. OXA-535 and OXA-436, a plasmid-encoded variant of OXA-535 differing by three amino acids, form a novel cluster of distantly related OXA-48-like carbapenemases. Comparison of blaOXA-535 and blaOXA-436 genetic environments suggests that an ISCR1 may be responsible for blaOXA-436 gene mobilization from the chromosome of Shewanella spp. to plasmids.
