Abstract
ABSTRACTWe report the first multidrug-resistantProteus mirabilisstrain producing the carbapenemase OXA-48 (Pm-OXA-48) isolated at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, Palestine. Draft genome sequencing of Pm-OXA-48 identified 16 antimicrobial resistance genes, encoding resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, phenicols, streptothricin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Complete sequencing of theblaOXA-48-harboring plasmid revealed that it is a 72 kb long IncL/M plasmid, harboring carbapenemase geneblaOXA-48, extended spectrum β-lactamase geneblaCTX-M-14, and aminoglycoside resistance genesstrA,strB, andaph(3′)-VIb.
