Abstract A “high risk” clone of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) identified by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) as sequence type (ST) 258 has disseminated worldwide. As the molecular epidemiology of the CRE pandemic continues to evolve, the clinical impact of non-ST258 strains is less well defined. We conducted an epidemiological investigation of CRKP based on strains MLST. Among 68 CRKP patients, 61 were ST258 and 7 belonged to non-ST258. Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 strains were significantly associated with blaKPC production and with resistance to an increased number of antimicrobials. Clinical outcomes were not different. Based on this analysis, one cannot rely solely on the presence of blaKPC in order to diagnose CRKP.

Abstract Purpose To establish mortality prediction models in 14 days of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae bacteremia using Machine learning.Materials and Methods It is a single-center retrospective study. We collect the relevant clinical information of all patients with Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae (CRKP) bacteremia in the past 5 years using the local database. Data analysis and verification are carried out by multiple logical regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), and XGBoost.Result This study includes 187 patients with 40 related variables. In multiple logical regression, acute renal injury (P=0.003), Apache II score (P=0.036), immunodeficiency (P=0.025), severe thrombocytopenia (P=0.025) and septic shock (P=0.044) are the high-risk factors for 14 days mortality of CRKP bloodstream infections. According to the importance of those parameters, risk scoring is established to predict the survival rate of CRKP bacteremia. The analysis of the five models, with 70% training set and 30% test set, show the comprehensive performance of random forest (AUROC=0.953, precision=91.85%) is slightly better than that of XGBoost (AUROC=0.912, precision=86.41%) and SVM (AUROC=0.936, precision=79.89%) in predicting 14-day mortality of CRKP bacteremia. The multiple logical regression model (AUROC=0.825, precision=81.52%) is the second, and the decision tree model (AUROC=0.712, precision=79.89%) is not very ideal.Conclusion Machine learning has good performances in predicting 14-day mortality of CRKP bacteremia than multiple logical regression. Acute renal injury, severe thrombocytopenia, and septic shock are the high-risk factors of CRKP bacteremia mortality.

ABSTRACT Sporadic isolates of carbapenem-resistant KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated in Tel Aviv Medical Center during 2005 and 2006, parallel to the emergence of the KPC-3-producing K. pneumoniae sequence type 258 (ST 258). We aimed to study the molecular epidemiology of these isolates and to characterize their bla KPC-carrying plasmids and their origin. Ten isolates (8 KPC-2 and 2 KPC-3 producing) were studied. All isolates were extremely drug resistant. They possessed the bla KPC gene and varied in their additional beta-lactamase contents. The KPC-2-producing strains belonged to three different sequence types: ST 340 (n = 2), ST 277 (n = 2), and a novel sequence type, ST 376 (n = 4). Among KPC-3-producing strains, a single isolate (ST 327) different from ST 258 was identified, but both strains carried the same plasmid (pKpQIL). The KPC-2-encoding plasmids varied in size (45 to 95 kb) and differed among each of the STs. Two of the Klebsiella bla KPC-2-carrying plasmids were identical to plasmids from Escherichia coli, suggesting a common origin of these plasmids. These data indicate that KPC evolution in K. pneumoniae is related to rare events of interspecies spread of bla KPC-2-carrying plasmids from E. coli followed by limited clonal spread, whereas KPC-3 carriage in this species is related almost strictly to clonal expansion of ST 258 carrying pKpQIL.

ABSTRACT An emerging multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae high-risk clone of sequence type 307 (ST307) has been increasingly reported worldwide. Here, we described the genomic characteristics of an IMP-38-producing ST307 K. pneumoniae strain and investigated the prevalence of blaIMP-38 among carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a tertiary care hospital in central China. A total of 14 IMP-38-producing ST307 K. pneumoniae strains were identified from 2013 to 2016, with 13 strains isolated from patients with neonatal sepsis in the neonatal ward. PacBio and Illumina whole-genome sequencing analysis performed on a representative IMP-38-producing K. pneumoniae strain, WCGKP294, showed that it contained a circular chromosome and two plasmids. Carbapenemase gene blaIMP-38 is colocated with blaCTX-M-3 in transposon Tn6382 on an IncHI5 plasmid (pWCGKP294-2). WCGKP294 harbors another IncFIB plasmid, pWCGKP294-1, carrying three copies of tandem-repeated IS26-blaSHV-2A-deoR-ygbJ-ygbK-fucA-IS26 composite transposon elements. Phylogenetic analysis placed WCGKP294 in the global ST307 cluster, distant from the U.S. (Texas) and South Africa clusters. Nevertheless, WCGKP294 does not contain the chromosomal fluoroquinolone resistance-associated mutations and IncFIIK/IncFIBK plasmid-associated blaCTX-M-15 gene that are frequently found in other global ST307 strains. IMPORTANCE We described the genome and resistome characterization of a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 strain carrying blaIMP-38 in China. This report highlights that the high-risk ST307 clone continues to acquire different antimicrobial resistance genes, posing significant challenges to clinical practice, and should be closely monitored.

Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections are associated with poor patient outcomes. Data on risk factors and molecular epidemiology of CRE in complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) in China are limited. This study examined the risk factors of cIAI with CRE and the associated mortality based on carbapenem resistance mechanisms. Methods In this retrospective analysis, we identified 1024 cIAI patients hospitalized from January 1, 2013 to October 31, 2018 in 14 intensive care units in China. Thirty CRE isolates were genotyped to identify β-lactamase-encoding genes. Results Escherichia coli (34.5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (21.2%) were the leading pathogens. Patients with hospital-acquired cIAI had a lower rate of E coli (26.0% vs 49.1%; P < .001) and higher rate of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (31.7% vs 18.8%; P = .002) than those with community-acquired cIAI. Of the isolates, 16.0% and 23.4% of Enterobacteriaceae and K pneumoniae, respectively, were resistant to carbapenem. Most carbapenemase-producing (CP)-CRE isolates carried blaKPC (80.9%), followed by blaNMD (19.1%). The 28-day mortality was 31.1% and 9.0% in patients with CRE vs non-CRE (P < .001). In-hospital mortality was 4.7-fold higher for CP-CRE vs non-CP-CRE infection (P = .049). Carbapenem-containing combinations did not significantly influence in-hospital mortality of CP and non-CP-CRE. The risk factors for 28-day mortality in CRE-cIAI included septic shock, antibiotic exposure during the preceding 30 days, and comorbidities. Conclusions Klebsiella pneumoniae had the highest prevalence in CRE. Infection with CRE, especially CP-CRE, was associated with increased mortality in cIAI.
