Abstract
Analysis of 594 isolates of Escherichia coli sequence type (ST)131 and its single locus variants carrying carbapenemase genes from 17 European Union/European Economic Area countries revealed acquisition of 18 carbapenemase variants, mainly in ST131 clades A and C. Most frequent were bla (OXA-244) (n = 230) and bla (OXA-48) (n = 224), detected in 14 and 12 countries, respectively. Isolates carrying bla (OXA-244) have increased rapidly since 2021. The increasing detection of carbapenemase genes in the E. coli high-risk lineage ST131 is a public health concern.
