OXA-181 is the second most common global OXA-48-like carbapenemase and is endemic in the Indian subcontinent. Molecular studies have shown thatEnterobacterales with OXA-181 are often introduced into regions of nonendemicity. Distinguishing OXA-181 from other OXA-48-like enzymes often requires sequencing, which is rather expensive and time-consuming.
