Species discrepancy for OXA-258-like class D beta-lactamase OXA-1251

[iorga]

Dear all,

Historically, all OXA-258-like beta-lactamases were found in Achromobacter spp., one paper considering OXA-258 as a species-specific marker for Achromobacter ruhlandii.

OXA-1251 has 99.3% sequence identity with OXA-258, and was reported to be isolated from a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain. This is very unusual compared with all other OXA-258-like beta-lactamases. The corresponding genome was not deposited to the NCBI, so no further information can be obtained.

@danielhhaft or @feldgard , could you please double check the species of this isolate with the depositing authors, and ideally ask them to deposit the whole genome ? Thank you in advance.
