Carbapenems are considered last-resort antibiotics in health care. Increasing reports of carbapenemase-producing bacteria in food-producing animals and in the environment indicate the importance of this phenomenon in public health. Surveillance for carbapenemase genes and carbapenemase-producing bacteria in Dutch food-producing animals, environmental freshwater, and imported ornamental fish revealed several chromosome-basedbla OXA-48 -like variants inShewanella spp., including two new alleles,bla OXA-514 andbla OXA-515 . Carbapenemase genes were not associated with mobile genetic elements orEnterobacteriaceae .
