were present in 9 countries spanning 5 continents, illustrating the global distribution of OXA-181. This methodology can easily be incorporated into molecular surveillance programs to provide accurate information about the prevalence of OXA-181. A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-OXA48 assay overall performed well for detecting OXA-48-like enzymes but showed poor specificity due to false-positive results with non-OXA carbapenemases.
