RESUMO

We report on a carbapenemase-producing hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CP-hvKP) isolate collected from a U.S. patient at an outpatient clinic. The isolate was identified as K. pneumoniae serotype K1 sequence type 23 and included both a hypervirulence (with rmpA, rmpA2 iroBCDN, peg-344, and iucABCD-iutA genes) and a carbapenemase-encoding (blaKPC-2) plasmid. The emergence of CP-hvKP underscores the importance of clinical awareness of this pathotype and the need for continued monitoring of CP-hvKP in the United States.

RESUMO

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a growing public health concern due to resistance to multiple antibiotics and potential to cause health care-associated infections with high mortality. Carbapenemase-producing CRE are of particular concern given that carbapenemase-encoding genes often are located on mobile genetic elements that may spread between different organisms and species. In this study, we performed phenotypic and genotypic characterization of CRE collected at eight U.S. sites participating in active population- and laboratory-based surveillance of carbapenem-resistant organisms. Among 421 CRE tested, the majority were isolated from urine (n = 349, 83%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common organism (n = 265, 63%), followed by Enterobacter cloacae complex (n = 77, 18%) and Escherichia coli (n = 50, 12%). Of 419 isolates analyzed by whole genome sequencing, 307 (73%) harbored a carbapenemase gene; variants of blaKPC predominated (n = 299, 97%). The occurrence of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae complex, and E. coli varied by region; the predominant sequence type within each genus was ST258, ST171, and ST131, respectively. None of the carbapenemase-producing CRE isolates displayed resistance to all antimicrobials tested; susceptibility to amikacin and tigecycline was generally retained.
