OXA-535 is a chromosome-encoded carbapenemase ofShewanella bicestrii JAB-1 that shares only 91.3% amino acid sequence identity with OXA-48. Catalytic efficiencies are similar to those of OXA-48 for most β-lactams, except for ertapenem, where a 2,000-fold-higher efficiency was observed with OXA-535.
