Three ceftazidime-avibactam-resistant KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains of ST39 were isolated in Greece, from rectal swabs of three patients after 10-15 days of treatment. The patients were treated with ceftazidime-avibactam as monotherapy or in combination with colistin. Two of these strains harbored a D179Y or a D179V substitution in the Ω loop of KPC-2, corresponding to KPC-33, or to the novel KPC-57, respectively. The third strain had a 15 amino acid insertion after position 259 in the KPC-2, corresponding to KPC-44.

The global prevalence of ST11 hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant (hv-CRKP) isolates has been increasingly documented, yet genomic characterization of this clone remains insufficiently explored. Here, we report a clinical ST11-KL25 hv-CRKP strain (KP156) that exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics and demonstrated hypervirulence in a mouse infection model. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that KP156 harbored one virulence plasmid (pKP156-Vir) and two resistance plasmids (pKP156-KPC and pKP156-tetA).

Unlabelled: There is a critical need for treatment strategies to combat carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. This study investigates the efficacy of combining low concentrations of colistin with tigecycline against colistin- and carbapenem-resistant and strains. We used two strains of KPC-2-producing and OXA-23-producing , both of which are highly colistin-resistant.

Article Synopsis
- A multidrug-resistant bacterial strain, LS81, was isolated from a clinical patient's abdominal drainage fluid in China and characterized for its resistance genes.
- LS81 tested positive for specific carbapenemase genes located on a plasmid and was capable of transferring these genes to other strains.
- Whole-genome sequencing identified LS81 as belonging to sequence type 196 (ST196) and revealed a complex accessory genome, highlighting the importance of ongoing surveillance for this emerging hospital-acquired pathogen.

Article Synopsis
- * Over 80% of the identified CPEH strains belong to the high-risk ST78 lineage, which carries a specific plasmid (pOXA48-CREH) related to another endemic plasmid found in a different lineage (ST11).
- * The research indicates that the ST78 lineage has rapidly spread and acquired various plasmids that facilitate carbapenem resistance, emphasizing the need for ongoing genomic monitoring and strategic measures to contain this threat in hospitals.
