OXA-204 Carbapenemase in Clinical Isolate of Pseudomonas guariconensis, Tunisia.

ABSTRACT: We report an OXA-204-producing Pseudomonas guariconensis clinical isolate in Tunisia, proving the spread of OXA-48 variants beyond Enterobacterales. The bla_OXA-204 gene was carried on a 119-kb chromosomally integrated plasmid fragment, along with multiple additional resistance genes. Surveillance, diagnostic tools, and antimicrobial drug access are needed to mitigate spread of carbapenem-resistant pathogens.
