Unlabelled: Carbapenem-resistant spp. pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to limited treatment options for nosocomial infections. Carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D beta-lactamases are the primary cause for carbapenem resistance, while metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM) and imipenemase (IMP) also contribute.

Background: has emerged as an important nosocomial opportunistic pathogen, often associated with serious infections. We investigated the antimicrobial resistance trends, predisposing factors, and infection outcomes associated with isolated in a secondary-care hospital in Oman.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at a secondary-care hospital in the northern region of Oman after receiving approval from the research ethics and approval committee of Oman.

Tigecycline is one of the last-resort treatment options for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP). Unfortunately, tigecycline resistance is increasingly reported and causes an unprecedented public health crisis worldwide. Although studies on tigecycline resistance are expanding, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Article Synopsis
  • Multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially ESBL-producing strains like Klebsiella pneumoniae, are a major global health threat, with this study focusing on Kp04, a clinical isolate from Bangladesh.
  • The investigation revealed high antibiotic resistance, with five isolated K. pneumoniae strains being resistant to 14 out of 21 tested antibiotics while only being sensitive to three specific ones.
  • Whole-genome sequencing of Kp04 identified 75 genes associated with ESBL, virulence, and multiple drug resistance, highlighting similarities in virulence and resistance among isolates from Dhaka and Chattogram, indicating possible transmission of these strains in the region.

This study investigated a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, identified as GRTHES, which exhibited extensive antibiotic resistance. The strain was resistant to all beta-lactams, including combinations with newer agents such as meropenem/vaborbactam and imipenem/relebactam, as well as to aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, fosfomycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and colistin. It remained susceptible to tigecycline.
