Colistin is a last resort antibiotic medication for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. In recent years, various mechanisms have been reported to mediate colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae. This study reports a bibliometric analysis of published articles retrieved from the Scopus database relating to colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae. The research trends in colistin resistance and mechanisms of resistance were considered. A total of 1819 research articles published between 1995 and 2019 were retrieved, and the results indicated that 50.19% of the documents were published within 2017–2019. The USA had the highest participation with 340 (14.31%) articles and 14087 (17.61%) citations. Classification based on the WHO global epidemiological regions showed that the European Region contributed 42% of the articles while the American Region contributed 21%. The result further indicated that 45 countries had published at least 10 documents with strong international collaborations amounting to 272 links and a total linkage strength of 735. A total of 2282 keywords were retrieved; however, 57 keywords had ≥15 occurrences with 764 links and a total linkage strength of 2388. Furthermore, mcr-1, colistin resistance, NDM, mgrB, ceftazidime-avibactam, MDR, combination therapy, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae were the trending keywords. Concerning funders, the USA National Institute of Health funded 9.1% of the total research articles, topping the list. The analysis indicated poor research output, collaboration, and funding from Africa and South-East Asia and demands for improvement in international research collaboration.

ABSTRACT Here we describe the spread of colistin resistance in clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Medellín, Colombia. Among 32 isolates collected between 2012 and 2014, 24 showed genetic alterations in mgrB. Nineteen isolates belonged to sequence type 512 (ST512) (or its single locus variant [SLV]) and harbored an 8.1-kb hsdMSR insertion corresponding to ISKpn25, indicating a clonal expansion of the resistant strain. The insertion region showed 100% identity to several plasmids, suggesting that the colistin resistance is mediated by chromosomal integration of plasmid DNA.

Abstract Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections (CRKP-BSIs) are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in critically ill patients. Comprehensive mortality risk analyses and therapeutic assessment in real-world practice are beneficial to guide individual treatment.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 87 patients with CRKP-BSIs (between July 2016 and June 2020) to identify the independent risk factors for 28-day all-cause mortality. The therapeutic efficacies of tigecycline-and polymyxin B-based therapies were analyzed.Results: The 28-day all-cause mortality and in-hospital mortality rates were 52.87% and 67.82%, respectively, arising predominantly from intra-abdominal (56.32%) and respiratory tract infections (21.84%). A multivariate analysis showed that 28-day all-cause mortality was independently associated with the patient’s APACHE II score (p = 0.002) and presence of septic shock at BSI onset (p = 0.006). All-cause mortality was not significantly different between patients receiving tigecycline- or polymyxin B-based therapy (55.81% vs. 53.85%, p = 0.873), and between subgroups mortality rates were also similar. Conclusions: Critical illness indicators (APACHE II scores and presence of septic shock at BSI onset) were independent risk factors for 28-day all-cause mortality. There was no significant difference between tigecycline- and polymyxin B-based therapy outcomes. Prompt and appropriate infection control should be implemented to prevent CRKP infections.

Abstract Background Previous studies showed that the epidemic of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) observed in Italy since 2010 was sustained mostly by strains of clonal group (CG) 258 producing KPC-type carbapenemases. In the framework of the National Antibiotic-Resistance Surveillance (AR-ISS), a countrywide survey was conducted in 2016 to explore the evolution of the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of CR-KP isolates. Methods From March to July 2016, hospital laboratories participating in AR-ISS were requested to provide consecutive, non-duplicated CR-KP (meropenem and/or imipenem MIC >1 mg/L) from invasive infections. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined according to EUCAST recommendations. A WGS approach was adopted to characterize the isolates by investigating phylogeny, resistome and virulome. Results Twenty-four laboratories provided 157 CR-KP isolates, of which 156 were confirmed as K. pneumoniae sensu stricto by WGS and found to carry at least one carbapenemase-encoding gene, corresponding in most cases (96.1%) to blaKPC. MLST- and SNP-based phylogeny revealed that 87.8% of the isolates clustered in four major lineages: CG258 (47.4%), with ST512 as the most common clone, CG307 (19.9%), ST101 (15.4%) and ST395 (5.1%). A close association was identified between lineages and antibiotic resistance phenotypes and genotypes, virulence traits and capsular types. Colistin resistance, mainly associated with mgrB mutations, was common in all major lineages except ST395. Conclusions This WGS-based survey showed that, although CG258 remained the most common CR-KP lineage in Italy, a polyclonal population has emerged with the spread of the new high-risk lineages CG307, ST101 and ST395, while KPC remained the most common carbapenemase.

ABSTRACT Bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains have been a severe problem with high clinical costs and high mortality rates. The bla KPC-2-producing CRKP strain XPY20 was collected from the blood of a patient. The genome characteristics and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms were determined using next-generation sequencing.

Resistance to colistin is a major threat that limits therapeutic choices for treating carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. Herein, we report the draft genome sequences of two colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates (BA41763 and B6753). The sequence data indicate that BA41763 and B6753 contain genomes of ~5.9 and 5.7 Mb in size with several plasmids.

Previous studies reported decreased mortality in patients with carbapenemase-producingKlebsiella pneumoniaebloodstream infections (BSIs) treated with combination therapy but included carbapenem-susceptible and -intermediate isolates, as per revised CLSI breakpoints. Here, we assessed outcomes in patients with BSIs caused by phenotypically carbapenem-resistantK. pneumoniae(CRKP) according to the number ofin vitroactive agents received and whether an extended-spectrum beta-lactam (BL) antibiotic, including meropenem, or an extended-spectrum cephalosporin was administered. We retrospectively reviewed CRKP BSIs at two New York City hospitals from 2006 to 2013, where all isolates had meropenem or imipenem MICs of ≥4 μg/ml. Univariate and multivariable models were created to identify factors associated with mortality. Of 141 CRKP BSI episodes, 23% were treated with a single active agent (SAA), 26% were treated with an SAA plus BL, 28% were treated with multiple active agents (MAA), and 23% were treated with MAA plus BL. Ninety percent of isolates had meropenem MICs of ≥16 μg/ml. Thirty-day mortality was 33% overall and did not significantly differ across the four treatment groups in a multivariable model (P= 0.4); mortality was significantly associated with a Pitt bacteremia score of ≥4 (odds ratio [OR], 7.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2 to 18.1;P= 0.1), and immunosuppression was protective (OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2 to 1.0;P= 0.04). Individual treatment characteristics were also not significantly associated with outcome, including use of SAAs versus MAA (26% versus 38%,P= 0.1) or BL versus no BL (26% versus 39%,P= 0.1). In summary, in patients with CRKP BSIs caused by isolates with high carbapenem MICs, the role of combination therapy remains unclear, highlighting the need for prospective studies to identify optimal treatment regimens.
