Abstract:
Objective To analyze the molecular epidemiology and colistin-resistant genes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)by whole-genome sequencing,and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods 57 CRKP strains isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in a tertiary general first-class hospital in Anhui Province from 2021 to 2023 were collected and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed.Multilocus sequence typing,capsule serotype,resistance genes,and virulence genes of CRKP strains were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing technique,and single nucleotide polymorphism analysis was conducted on sequences of all strains.Colistin resistance-related genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results 57 CRKP strains exhibited resistance to 14 antimicrobial agents,with the exception of tigecycline.The se-quencing results showed that 93.0%(53/57)of CRKP carried blaKPC-2,and the ST11 type CRKP strain had the highest detection rate(51/57,89.5%).Single nucleotide polymorphism clustering analysis showed that the 57 CRKP strains were divided into 11 clone groups,of which 4 clone groups were all ST11-KL64 type CRKP.40(70.2%)CRKP strains carried multiple virulence genes.Five strains of CRKP were colistin-resistant strains,the resistance mechanism involved the insertion of ISKpn26 element at site 70 of the mgrB gene.Conclusion The CRKP strain is primarily characterized by the production of KPC-2 ST11-KL64,with disseminated transmission in intensive care unit.The insertion of ISKpn26 element leading to mgrB gene mutation is related to resistance of CRKP to colistin in this region.
