Changing Epidemiology of Carbapenemases Among Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales From United States Hospitals and the Activity of Aztreonam-Avibactam Against Contemporary Enterobacterales (2019-2021)

Helio S. Sader et al.

Summary: As the prevalence of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacterales is increasing, there is an urgent need for effective antimicrobials. This study evaluated the activity of aztreonam-avibactam against 27,834 Enterobacterales isolates collected from US medical centers. The results showed that aztreonam-avibactam was highly effective, inhibiting over 99.9% of isolates at a concentration of <= 8 mg/L.

Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: Virulence Factors, Molecular Epidemiology and Latest Updates in Treatment Options

Theodoros Karampatakis et al.

Summary: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen responsible for various infections. Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) pose a major threat to public health, with high mortality rates in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. Understanding the virulence factors, molecular epidemiology, and treatment options for CRKP is crucial.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility, Virulence, and Genomic Features of a Hypervirulent Serotype K2, ST65 Klebsiella pneumoniae Causing Meningitis in Italy

Aurora Piazza et al.

Summary: This study reports a hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae strain causing recurrent meningitis and investigates its genomic features using whole-genome sequencing analysis. The strain is susceptible to most antibiotics despite the presence of some resistance genes and exhibits several virulence factors related to pathogenicity. Phylogenetic analysis shows high similarity between this strain and a Chinese isolate, suggesting a hidden circulation of this lineage.

Resistome and virulome accretion in an NDM-1-producing ST147 sublineage of Klebsiella pneumoniae associated with an outbreak in Tuscany, Italy: a genotypic and phenotypic characterisation

Vincenzo Di Pilato et al.

Summary: This study investigated an outbreak of NDM-CPE in Tuscany, Italy, caused by ST147 K pneumoniae producing NDM-1. The clone had a complex resistome and virulome, capable of sustaining a large regional outbreak, highlighting the need for global surveillance programs to track and prevent their dissemination.

Characterization of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Belgium

Ahalieyah Anantharajah et al.

Summary: This study investigated 22 clinical invasive isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and found that hypervirulent strains showed increased pathogenicity. The majority of the isolates expressed the K2 capsular serotype and belonged to various MLST lineages, while the remaining strains expressed K1 and were associated with liver abscesses. Among the patients, 36% had primary extra-hepatic infections, 95% had sepsis, and the mortality rate was 30%. Improved clinical and microbiological diagnostics are needed to better understand and manage community-acquired invasive infections caused by hypervirulent K. pneumoniae.

Increase in NDM-1 and NDM-1/OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Germany associated with the war in Ukraine, 2022

Mirco Sandfort et al.

Summary: German surveillance systems in 2022 have observed a rapid increase in the numbers of NDM-1 and NDM-1/OXA48 producing Klesbiella pneumoniae. Cases in Germany have shown a frequent presence in Ukraine before diagnosis. Whole genome sequencing of 200 isolates has revealed a high prevalence of sequence types ST147, ST307, ST395, and ST23, indicating clonal dissemination and onward transmission in Germany. Screening and isolating patients from Ukraine may help prevent further transmission.

Molecular Epidemiology of Antimicrobial Resistance, Virulence and Capsular Serotypes of Carbapenemase-Carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae in China

Lina Zhao et al.

Summary: This study analyzed genomic data of carbapenemase-carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) strains in China, revealing rich diversity in sequence types and capsular serotypes. The study also found that carbapenemase has spread to hypervirulent KPN, mammals, poultry, and insects. The prevalence of different capsular serotypes has changed over time, with ST11 replacing KL47 as the dominant serotype. Different genic indicators can be used to differentiate between types of KPN.

Epidemiological characteristics and molecular evolution mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Yu-Ling Han et al.

Summary: CR-hvKP, a type of Klebsiella pneumoniae, exhibits both hypervirulence and carbapenem resistance phenotypes, causing severe infections and posing significant challenges to global public health. The evolutionary mechanisms include horizontal transfer of plasmids carrying resistance and virulence genes.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with MBL-producing Enterobacterales bloodstream infections treated with CAZ-AVI + ATM or other active antibiotics. The results showed that CAZ-AVI + ATM was associated with lower 30-day mortality, lower clinical failure at day 14, and shorter length of stay.

Summary: Kleborate is a tool designed for analyzing genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae and its related species complex, aimed at supporting genomic surveillance and epidemiology in research, clinical, and public health settings. By applying Kleborate to analyze Klebsiella genomes, global trends in antimicrobial resistance and virulence can be highlighted as examples of what could be achieved by using this genomic framework within more systematic genomic surveillance efforts.
