BackgroundCarbapenem-resistantKlebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP) strains are of particular concern, especially strains with mobilizable carbapenemase genes such asblaKPC,blaNDMorblaOXA-48, given that carbapenems are usually the last line drugs in the β-lactam class and, resistance to this sub-class is associated with increased mortality and frequently co-occurs with resistance to other antimicrobial classes.ObjectivesTo characterize the genomic diversity and international dissemination of CRKP strains from tertiary care hospitals in Lisbon, Portugal.MethodsTwenty CRKP isolates obtained from different patients were subjected to WGS for species confirmation, typing, drug resistance gene detection and phylogenetic reconstruction. Two additional genomic datasets were included for comparative purposes: 26 isolates (ST13, ST17 and ST231) from our collection and 64 internationally available genomic assemblies (ST13).ResultsBy imposing a 21 SNP cut-off on pairwise comparisons we identified two genomic clusters (GCs): ST13/GC1 (n= 11), all bearingblaKPC-3, and ST17/GC2 (n= 4) harbouringblaOXA-181andblaCTX-M-15genes. The inclusion of the additional datasets allowed the expansion of GC1/ST13/KPC-3 to 23 isolates, all exclusively from Portugal, France and the Netherlands. The phylogenetic tree reinforced the importance of the GC1/KPC-3-producing clones along with their rapid emergence and expansion across these countries. The data obtained suggest that the ST13 branch emerged over a decade ago and only more recently did it underpin a stronger pulse of transmission in the studied population.ConclusionsThis study identifies an emerging OXA-181/ST17-producing strain in Portugal and highlights the ongoing international dissemination of a KPC-3/ST13-producing clone from Portugal.
