OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the characteristics of a colistin-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae strain (KP8) using whole genome sequencing and various phenotypic assays.
METHODS: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using broth microdilution. Whole genome sequencing and comparative genomics were utilised to elucidate genomic characteristics. Phenotypic assays to evaluate virulence factors included measurements of mucosal viscosity, biofilm production, siderophore production, infection of A549 cells, serum-killing assays, and Galleria mellonella infection models.
RESULTS: Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the strain (KP8) belongs to sequence type 367 (ST367) and capsular type 1 (KL1), and it harbours several virulence genes, including regulator of mucoid phenotype (rmpA/A2), salmochelin (iroBCDN) and aerobactin (iucABCDiutA). Antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that KP8 was resistant to colistin. Genome analysis showed that the colistin resistance of KP8 might be related to amino acid insertions in pmrB (L215_D217, insL) and pagP (M1_S3, insV). Importantly, KP8 demonstrated comparable mucosal viscosity, biofilm production capacity, siderophore production levels to hvKP. Serum-killing experiments, A549 cell infection models, and G. mellonella infection models further indicated that KP8 displayed high virulence, akin to the hypervirulent strain NUTH-K2044. Notably, global genome analysis of the K. quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae strains highlighted that the ST367 lineage has a higher tendency to carry virulence-associated genes compared to other sequence types. The prevalence of virulence-associated factors concentrated within Chinese ST367 isolates reinforces this observation.
CONCLUSION: These findings further enhance our understanding of the resistance and pathogenicity of ST367 K. quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae strain and also providing a broader perspective on the global epidemiological landscape.
