Newly detected cases of Escherichia coli producing OXA-48–like carbapenemases, by type of acquisition, Israel, 2016–2023. Nosocomial acquisition is defined as detected >48 hours after admission to hospital or long-term care facility, upon transfer, or upon readmission if previous admission occurred in the last 30 days. Ward-level outbreak is defined as >2 nosocomial cases within the same ward, <30 days between cases. Probably hospital-acquired during an outbreak is defined as >2 nosocomial cases in the same institution but not in the same ward, <30 days between cases. Nonnosocomial category might include healthcare-associated cases.
