Abstract
Aims
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP) is a global threat that varies by region. The global distribution, evolution, and clinical implications of the ST11 CRKP clone remain obscure.
Methods
We conducted a multicenter molecular epidemiological survey using isolates obtained from 28 provinces and municipalities across China between 2011 and 2021. We integrated sequences from public databases and performed genetic epidemiology analysis of ST11 CRKP.
Results
Among ST11 CRKP, KL64 serotypes exhibited considerable expansion, increasing from 1.54% to 46.08% between 2011 and 2021. Combining our data with public databases, the phylogenetic and phylogeography analyses indicated that ST11 CRKP appeared in the Americas in 1996 and spread worldwide, with key clones progressing from China’s southeastern coast to the inland by 2010. Global phylogenetic analysis showed that ST11 KL64 CRKP has evolved to a virulent, resistant clade with notable regional spread. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis identified BMPPS (bmr3, mltC, pyrB, ppsC, and sdaC) as a key marker for this clade. The BMPPS SNP clade is associated with high mortality and has strong anti-phagocytic and competitive traits in vitro.
Conclusions
The high-risk ST11 KL64 CRKP subclone showed strong expansion potential and survival advantages, probably owing to genetic factors.
期刊介绍:
Drug Resistance Updates serves as a platform for publishing original research, commentary, and expert reviews on significant advancements in drug resistance related to infectious diseases and cancer. It encompasses diverse disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology, preclinical therapeutics, oncology, and clinical medicine. The journal addresses both basic research and clinical aspects of drug resistance, providing insights into novel drugs and strategies to overcome resistance. Original research articles are welcomed, and review articles are authored by leaders in the field by invitation.
Articles are written by leaders in the field, in response to an invitation from the Editors, and are peer-reviewed prior to publication. Articles are clear, readable, and up-to-date, suitable for a multidisciplinary readership and include schematic diagrams and other illustrations conveying the major points of the article. The goal is to highlight recent areas of growth and put them in perspective.
*Expert reviews in clinical and basic drug resistance research in oncology and infectious disease
*Describes emerging technologies and therapies, particularly those that overcome drug resistance
*Emphasises common themes in microbial and cancer research
