Résumé
OXA-244, a single amino acid variant of OXA-48, demonstrates weaker hydrolytic activity towards carbapenems and temocillin compared with OXA-48. Of note, these antimicrobials are present in high concentrations in several carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) screening media. As a result, some screening media fail to grow OXA-244-producing isolates, while the prevalence of OXA-244 producers is constantly increasing in France. Here, we evaluate the performance of three commercially available CPE screening media [ChromID® CARBA SMART (bioMérieux), Brilliance™ CRE (Thermo Fisher) and mSuperCARBA™ (MAST Diagnostic)] for their ability to detect OXA-244 producers (n = 101). As OXA-244 producers may also express an ESBL, two additional ESBL screening media were tested (Brilliance™ ESBL and ChromID® BLSE). MICs of temocillin and imipenem were determined by broth microdilution. The clonality of OXA-244-producing Escherichia coli isolates (n = 97) was assessed by MLST. Overall, the sensitivity of the ChromID® CARBA SMART, Brilliance™ CRE and mSuperCARBA™ media were 14% (95% CI = 8.1%-22.5%), 54% (95% CI = 43.3%-63.4%) and 99% (95% CI = 93.8%-100%), respectively, for the detection of OXA-244 producers. Among the 101 OXA-244-producing isolates, 96% were E. coli and 77%-78% grew on ESBL screening media. MLST analysis identified five main STs among OXA-244-producing E. coli isolates: ST38 (n = 37), ST361 (n = 17), ST69 (n = 12), ST167 (n = 11) and ST10 (n = 8). Our results demonstrated that the mSuperCARBA™ medium is very efficient in the detection of OXA-244 producers, unlike the ChromID® CARBA SMART medium. The high prevalence of ESBLs among OXA-244 producers allowed detection of 77%-78% of them using ESBL-specific screening media.

BACKGROUND
OXA-244, a single amino acid variant of OXA-48, demonstrates weaker hydrolytic activity towards carbapenems and temocillin compared with OXA-48. Of note, these antimicrobials are present in high concentrations in several carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) screening media. As a result, some screening media fail to grow OXA-244-producing isolates, while the prevalence of OXA-244 producers is constantly increasing in France.
METHODS
Here, we evaluate the performance of three commercially available CPE screening media [ChromID® CARBA SMART (bioMérieux), Brilliance™ CRE (Thermo Fisher) and mSuperCARBA™ (MAST Diagnostic)] for their ability to detect OXA-244 producers (n = 101). As OXA-244 producers may also express an ESBL, two additional ESBL screening media were tested (Brilliance™ ESBL and ChromID® BLSE). MICs of temocillin and imipenem were determined by broth microdilution. The clonality of OXA-244-producing Escherichia coli isolates (n = 97) was assessed by MLST.
RESULTS
Overall, the sensitivity of the ChromID® CARBA SMART, Brilliance™ CRE and mSuperCARBA™ media were 14% (95% CI = 8.1%-22.5%), 54% (95% CI = 43.3%-63.4%) and 99% (95% CI = 93.8%-100%), respectively, for the detection of OXA-244 producers. Among the 101 OXA-244-producing isolates, 96% were E. coli and 77%-78% grew on ESBL screening media. MLST analysis identified five main STs among OXA-244-producing E. coli isolates: ST38 (n = 37), ST361 (n = 17), ST69 (n = 12), ST167 (n = 11) and ST10 (n = 8).
CONCLUSIONS
Our results demonstrated that the mSuperCARBA™ medium is very efficient in the detection of OXA-244 producers, unlike the ChromID® CARBA SMART medium. The high prevalence of ESBLs among OXA-244 producers allowed detection of 77%-78% of them using ESBL-specific screening media.
