Popis: This is the first detection and genomic analysis of an OXA-181-carbapenemase-producing E. coli in Brazil, from a traveler returning from Sub-Saharan Africa. The ST167 isolate carries blaOXA-181 inserted in an IncX3 plasmid. This report illustrates the potential role of travelers as silent vectors for dissemination of high-risk resistant clones.
