“…Although polymyxins were disfavored due to their potential nephrotoxicity, they are currently used in hospitals and are known as the last line of defense for the clinical treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, as treatment with polymyxins is becoming more common, reports of polymyxin resistance (including chromosomal and plasmid-mediated resistance) are increasing, especially in areas with high polymyxin use [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Background The prevalence of multidrug-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (MDR-hvKP) has gradually increased. It poses a severe threat to human health. However, polymyxin-resistant hvKP is rare. Here, we collected eight polymyxin B-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates from a Chinese teaching hospital as a suspected outbreak. Results The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by the broth microdilution method. HvKP was identified by detecting virulence-related genes and using a Galleria mellonella infection model. Their resistance to serum, growth, biofilm formation, and plasmid conjugation were analyzed in this study. Molecular characteristics were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and mutations of chromosome-mediated two-component systems pmrAB and phoPQ, and the negative phoPQ regulator mgrB to cause polymyxin B (PB) resistance were screened. All isolates were resistant to polymyxin B and sensitive to tigecycline; four were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam. Except for KP16 (a newly discovered ST5254), all were of the K64 capsular serotype and belonged to ST11. Four strains co-harbored blaKPC-2, blaNDM-1, and the virulence-related genes prmpA, prmpA2, iucA, and peg344, and were confirmed to be hypervirulent by the G. mellonella infection model. According to WGS analysis, three hvKP strains showed evidence of clonal transmission (8–20 single nucleotide polymorphisms) and had a highly transferable pKOX_NDM1-like plasmid. KP25 had multiple plasmids carrying blaKPC-2, blaNDM-1, blaSHV-12, blaLAP-2, tet(A), fosA5, and a pLVPK-like virulence plasmid. Tn1722 and multiple additional insert sequence-mediated transpositions were observed. Mutations in chromosomal genes phoQ and pmrB, and insertion mutations in mgrB were major causes of PB resistance. Conclusions Polymyxin-resistant hvKP has become an essential new superbug prevalent in China, posing a serious challenge to public health. Its epidemic transmission characteristics and mechanisms of resistance and virulence deserve attention.

“…Resistance to TET was reported at 32% in China [ 34 ], 19% in Canada [ 32 ], and 41.5% in Brazil [ 6 ]. COL is a last resort antibiotic to treat infections caused by K. pneumoniae , and the resistance rate to this antibiotic has increased in recent years from 4.8% in 2013–2018 to 8.2% in 2019–2021 [ 35 ]; our resistance rate still higher, when compared to this finding and might come from the transmission between strains as this antimicrobial, was used for treatment calves with diarrhea. CIP, ENR, PIP, IMI, and STX were highly sensitive in our study, which could be a good choice for mastitis treatment, especially CIP, PIP, and IMI, as these drugs had never been used before at studied farms; this finding was supported by other studies in Brazil [ 6 ], in China [ 31 ].…”

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the antibiotic-resistant profile and to identify molecular characterization of some virulence genes of Klebsiella spp. isolated from mastitis samples in Vietnam. Materials and Method: A total of 468 samples from clinical mastitis cases were collected and submitted to the Laboratory. All samples were cultured, and Klebsiella spp. was identified through biochemical reactions and confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Antimicrobial resistance was tested by disk diffusion method, and virulence and resistance genes were tested by PCR. Results: An antibiogram study showed that a high proportion of isolates are multidrug-resistant (94%). All isolates were resistant to lincomycin and sulfamethoxazole, followed by ampicillin (94%), sulphonamide (66%), amoxicillin (56%), streptomycin (52%), polymyxin B (28%), colistin sulfate (12%), tetracycline (6%), ciprofloxacin (4%), florfenicol (4%), enrofloxacin (4%), piperacillin (2%), trimethoprim (2%), nalidixic acid (2%), imipenem (2%), and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (2%). In contrast, all isolates showed sensitivity to gentamicin and ceftiofur. The appearance of an efflux pump system, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), tetracycline, and sulphonamides-resis¬tant genes was reconfirmed using different specific primers. Capsular serotype K1 and virulence genes magA, fimH, and entB, responsible for hypermucoviscosity production, adherence, and enterobactin production, were confirmed in isolates. Multidrug resistance and virulence potential in Klebsiella spp. are changing this mastitis pathogen into a superbug and making its management harder. Conclusions: Klebsiella spp. associated with bovine mastitis in Nghe An province were mostly multidrug-resistant and carried virulence genes including fimH, entB, and antimicrobials resistant genes (blaSHV, acrAKp, tetA, etc.), but these isolates were not ESBL producers.

“…Hence, studies of colistin-resistant Klebsiella isolates are increasing in number. According to a recent study by Narimisa et al [ 21 ], there was an increment in the level of colistin resistance by K. pneumoniae during the period of 2013 to 2021, which may be attributed to the increased utilization of this antibiotic in recent years. A strong relationship was observed between the increased resistance to colistin and carbapenem-producing K. pneumoniae [ 21 ].…”

To date, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its variants have been reported as a novel public health concern threatening us worldwide. The presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae in COVID-19-infected patients is a major problem due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics, and it can possibly make the management of COVID-19 in patients more problematic. The impact of co-infection by K. pneumoniae on COVID-19 patients was explored in the current review. The spread of K. pneumoniae as a co-infection among critically ill COVID-19 patients, particularly throughout hospitalization, was identified and recorded via numerous reports. Alarmingly, the extensive application of antibiotics in the initial diagnosis of COVID-19 infection may reduce bacterial co-infection, but it increases the antibiotic resistance of bacteria such as the strains of K. pneumoniae. The correct detection of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae can offer a supportive reference for the diagnosis and therapeutic management of COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, the prevention and control of K. pneumoniae are required to minimize the risk of COVID-19. The aim of the present review is, therefore, to report on the virulence factors of the K. pneumonia genotypes, the drug resistance of K. pneumonia, and the impact of K. pneumoniae co-infection with COVID-19 on patients through a study of the published scientific papers, reports, and case studies.
