Genomic insights of beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae belonging to sequence type 1699 from retail market fish, India

Genomic investigation unveils high-risk ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae within a rural environmental water body

“…quasipneumoniae is an inhabitant of gastrointestinal tract and is considered as a less virulent opportunistic pathogen compared to K. pneumoniae ( Long et al., 2017 ) . However, recent studies have identified the propagation of ESBL and carbapenem resistance encoding ARGs in K. quasipneumoniae ( Arabaghian et al., 2019 ; Sajeev et al., 2022 ; Sakai and Maesaki 2022 ). In general, beta lactam genes such as bla SHV , bla LEN and bla OKP genes are closely associated with the chromosomes of K. pneumoniae, K. variicola and K. quasipneumoniae , respectively, although these species of Klebsiella can acquire beta lactam resistant genes from one another through homologous recombination ( Long et al., 2017 ).…”

Polyclonal Spread of Fosfomycin Resistance among Carbapenemase-Producing Members of the Enterobacterales in the Czech Republic

“…Epidemiologically, FosA3 is the most widespread variant, with endemic cases reported from both veterinary and clinical settings in China ( 13 , 17 – 19 ); FosA7 is predominantly found in isolates from veterinary settings ( 20 , 21 ). FosA5 has been reported from clinical settings in China ( 22 , 23 ) and from food in India ( 24 ), while FosA10 has been detected only in chicken meat from China ( 16 ). Few cases from food and clinical samples reported the occurrence of FosA8 ( 25 , 26 ), while only one clinical case involving FosA9 has been described from a clinical case in the Netherlands ( 27 ).…”
