Background: Klebsiella michiganensis , a member of the Klebsiella oxytoca complex, is an emerging nosocomial pathogen known to frequently carry plasmids with antibiotic-resistance genes, including carbapenemases. Using genomics, this study redefined an outbreak alert of K. michiganensis carrying a blaVIM carbapenemase in a pediatric ward in a Spanish hospital.
Methods: A total of 31 isolates of Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM)-carbapenemase K. oxytoca from suspected outbreak cases and unrelated controls from 2015 to 2022 were analyzed. Whole-genome sequencing (both short and long reads) was applied to determine phylogenetic relationships based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and identify plasmids and antimicrobial resistance genes.
Results: The sequences from 12 isolates identified in 2021 showed pairwise SNP distances ranging from 0 to 16 SNPs, confirming the outbreak. Examination of isolates before and after the study period revealed 7 additional cases, 2 in 2020 and 5 in 2022. The outbreak comprised 18 isolates from 17 patients in 3 different pediatric wards, together with 1 environmental sample. In all outbreak isolates, the blaVIM-1 gene was located within a gene cassette carried by a class 1 integron on an IncFIB(pQil) plasmid. A genomic network based on SNPs revealed 5 unsampled intermediate nodes, suggesting additional subclones that may have involved healthcare staff, patient relatives or environmental reservoirs. Blood and rectal isolates obtained from the same patient were positioned on separate branches of the network, making a direct evolutionary pathway between them unlikely.
Conclusions: Our study redefined the full extent of this K. michiganensis -VIM outbreak and highlights the critical importance of genomic analysis in accurately understanding outbreaks in healthcare settings.
