title: Isolation of OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 from an overseas traveler returning to Japan.
abstract: OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing organisms have emerged rapidly worldwide and may be transmitted through patients who receive medical care abroad. To our knowledge, this is the second case of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a patient who had returned to Japan after receiving treatment abroad.
