A study of clinical and bacteriological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Birjand, South-East Iran: Hypervirulent phenotype, biofilm formation, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance
This study assessed antimicrobial susceptibility, biofilm formation, hypervirulence traits, and virulence-related genes in K. pneumoniae. 119 isolates underwent antibiotic susceptibility testing using the Kirby-Bauer method, biofilm assessment through Congo red agar and Microtiter plate assays, PCR for various genes, and the String test for hypermucoviscosity. Clinical characteristics and virulence factors of hypervirulent (hvKP) were compared to classic K. pneumoniae (cKP) strains. Among the isolates, 77.3% were multi-drug resistant (MDR), and 83.2% showed biofilm-forming ability, with a higher MDR incidence in biofilm producers. A significant correlation was found between biofilm formation and the presence of the blaCTX-M15 gene. Genes luxS, mrkA, pgaA, and wzm were significantly related to biofilm production. Three K. pneumoniae (2.5%) were identified as hvKP, with higher prevalence of capsular serotypes K1/K2 and virulence-related genes iuc, rmpA, and rmpA2 than cKP. The study underscores the importance of surveillance and stewardship in combating MDR, biofilm-forming, highly virulent K. pneumoniae.
