KPC-53, a KPC-3 Variant of Clinical Origin Associated with Reduced Susceptibility to Ceftazidime-Avibactam

Vincenzo Di Pilato et al.

Summary: This study characterized a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate with high-level resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam due to the presence of KPC-53, a variant of KPC-3 with unique genetic features. Whole-genome sequencing revealed the presence of two copies of blaKPC-53 on different plasmids, shedding light on the mechanisms of resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam.

Comparative genomic analyses of IncpA1763-KPC plasmids

Hongchao Chen et al.

Summary: This study found that plasmids with single Inc(pA1763-KPC) replicons are less studied despite their emergence in some strains. Through genome sequencing and comparison, it was discovered that plasmids pA1763-KPC and p427113-2 from two clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates showed different backbone structures compared to six previously sequenced representative Inc(pA1763-KPC) plasmids.

Laboratory Variants GESG170L, GESG170K, and GESG170H Increase Carbapenem Hydrolysis and Confer Resistance to Clavulanic Acid

Alessandra Piccirilli et al.

Summary: The mutants of Guiana extended-spectrum (GES) beta-lactamase GES(G170H), GES(G170L), and GES(G170K) showed significantly different k(cat), K-m, and k(cat)/K-m values compared to GES-1 and GES-5. The enhanced hydrolytic activity against carbapenems is potentially attributed to substrate repositioning in the active site.

Local interactions with the Glu166 base and the conformation of an active site loop play key roles in carbapenem hydrolysis by the KPC-2 β-lactamase

Ian M. Furey et al.

Summary: KPC-2 is a common source of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacterial infections due to its ability to hydrolyze most beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, rapidly. Mutations that slow down the deacylation rate of carbapenems and affect the structure of the active site loop have been identified in KPC-2. This suggests that alterations in the environment of the general base Glu166 and the conformational stability of the Q214-R220 loop are critical for efficient deacylation of carbapenems by the KPC-2 enzyme.

Summary: Resistance to CAZ-AVI is emerging among KPC-E infections, primarily from K. pneumoniae ST258 with D179Y substitution. It poses a serious threat and requires close monitoring due to high infection rates and severity of the condition.

Role of new antibiotics for KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

Ursula Theuretzbacher et al.

Summary: Klebsiella pneumoniae has become a difficult-to-treat pathogen with a wide range of resistance determinants, particularly carbapenem resistance. New antibiotics have been developed to address this issue, but challenges such as class-specific resistance mechanisms and cross-resistance within classes remain.
