Description

The Ambler classification for carbapenemases utilizes four molecular classes - A, B, C and D. The OXA group of β-lactamases occur mainly in Acinetobacter species and are part of molecular class D. The "OXA-like" groups of genes are molecularly similar to and thought to evolve from the original gene for which the group is named. For example, as of 2014 the blaOXA-23-like group included 19 genes, including including blaOXA-23, -27, -49, and -73. PMID: 24696435. Many OXA enzymes (OXA-23-like, OXA-24-like, OXA-48-like, OXA-58-like) are considered to be responsible for the worldwide resistance epidemics. OXA-23-like enzymes have been isolated in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) in both the US and in China, revealing the importance of national and global efforts to control the spread of CR-AB.
