Insights into the genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and pathogenic potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the Norwegian marine environment using whole-genome analysis

Fredrik Hakonsholm et al.

Summary: This study investigates the genetic diversity, resistome, and pathogenic potential of Kp isolates from the Norwegian marine environment using whole-genome sequencing. The study provides the first comprehensive account of genetic diversity among Kp from the marine environment and reveals a high diversity of Kp in the Norwegian marine environment and seafood, including globally disseminated pathogenic sequence types carrying clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors, as well as several heavy metal resistance genes.

Resistance profiles and diversity of β-lactamases in Escherichia coli strains isolated from city-scale sewage surveillance in Bergen, Norway mimic clinical prevalence

Didrik H. Grevskott et al.

Summary: This study analyzed antibiotic resistance profiles and diversity of beta-lactamases in Escherichia coli from city sewage surveillance, identifying clinically important antibiotic resistance genes, various sequence types, and isolates carrying multiple virulence factors. The findings suggest potential health concerns and highlight the need for population-based surveillance of antibiotic resistance.

Conjugative plasmids interact with insertion sequences to shape the horizontal transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes

You Che et al.

Summary: The study found that plasmid-borne antimicrobial resistance genes are mainly enriched in conjugative plasmids. Scientists reported the discovery of a massive insertion sequence-associated antimicrobial resistance gene transfer network, suggesting a general evolutionary mechanism for horizontal gene transfer mediated by the interaction between conjugative plasmids and ISs. Experimental results confirmed the importance of these interactions in aiding the horizontal transfer and expanding the genetic range of antimicrobial resistance genes within complex microbial communities.
