Diversity of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST14 and emergence of a subgroup with KL64 capsular locus in the Arabian Peninsula

Shaimaa F. Mouftah et al.

Summary: The successful spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST14 in countries of the Arabian Peninsula can be attributed to clonal transmission coupled with likely horizontal gene transfer. The majority of CRKP-ST14 strains had the KL2 capsular locus, but some isolates carried the KL64 capsular locus, indicating genetic diversity. The comparison of regional and global isolates revealed a distinct cluster of CRKP-ST14 with KL64 capsular locus from four continents, suggesting a recent emergence and spread of this variant.

Continuous Evolution: Perspective on the Epidemiology of Carbapenemase Resistance Among Enterobacterales and Other Gram-Negative Bacteria

Glen T. Hansen

Summary: Carbapenems are antibiotics used to treat Gram-negative bacteria infections, but carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) have emerged globally, posing a significant public health issue. Different types of carbapenemase enzymes are spreading rapidly, requiring active surveillance and therapeutic strategies.
