Species discrepancy for OXA-258-like class D beta-lactamase OXA-1251 #106

Open iorga opened 3 months ago

iorga commented 3 months ago

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.

Thank you Bogdan for the shrewd analysis. I'm sure you're right about the species.

I emailed the submitter, and asked that the species identification be checked. But it's August, a slow time for hearing back from people, and I don't have a reply yet. I'll check the status in another two weeks or so.

Best regards,

Daniel Haft NCBI

Just pinging @danielhhaft to see if there was any follow up to this issue

Sorry for the delay. The submitter agreed some time ago that the species needed to be changed. NCBI made the change today. This should resolve the issue.
