The whole-genome analysis of a novel type of CPKP strain revealed the presence of various AMR genes with variated genomic structures. The findings highlight the necessity of developing additional surveillance programs and control measures for this emerging strain.
Background Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) is one of the most dangerous multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in human health due to its widespread circulation in the nosocomial environment. CPKP carried by companion dogs, which are close to human beings, should be considered a common threat to public health. However, CPKP dissemination through companion animals is still under consideration of major diagnosis and surveillance systems. Methods Two CPKP isolates which were genotyped to harbor bla(NDM-5)-encoding IncX3 plasmids, were subjected to the whole-genome study. Whole bacterial DNA was isolated, sequenced, and assembled with Oxford Nanopore long reads and corrected with short reads from the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The whole-genome structure and positions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were identified and visualized using CGView. Worldwide datasets were downloaded from the NCBI GenBank database for whole-genome comparative analysis. The whole-genome phylogenetic analysis was constructed using the identified whole-chromosome SNP sites from K. pneumoniae HS11286. Results As a result of the whole-genome identification, 4 heterogenous plasmids and a single chromosome were identified, each carrying various AMR genes. Multiple novel structures were identified from the AMR genes, coupled with mobile gene elements (MGE). The comparative whole-genome epidemiology revealed that ST378 K. pneumoniae is a novel type of CPKP, carrying a higher prevalence of AMR genes. Conclusions The characterized whole-genome analysis of this study shows the emergence of a novel type of CPKP strain carrying various AMR genes with variated genomic structures. The presented data in this study show the necessity to develop additional surveillance programs and control measures for a novel type of CPKP strain.
