Resistome Analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae Complex from Residential Aged Care Facilities Demonstrates Intra-facility Clonal Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Isolates
Antimicrobial-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the predominant pathogens in healthcare settings. However, the prevalence and resistome of this organism within residential aged care facilities (RACFs), which are potential hotspots for antimicrobial resistance, remain unexplored. Here, we provide a phenotypic and molecular characterization of antimicrobial-resistant K. pneumoniae isolated from RACFs. K. pneumoniae was isolated from urine, faecal and wastewater samples and facility swabs. The antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of all the isolates were determined and the genomic basis for resistance was explored with whole-genome sequencing on a subset of isolates. A total of 147 K. pneumoniae were isolated, displaying resistance against multiple antimicrobials. Genotypic analysis revealed the presence of beta-lactamases and the ciprofloxacin-resistance determinant QnrB4 but failed to confirm the basis for the observed cephalosporin resistance. Clonal spread of the multidrug-resistant, widely disseminated sequence types 323 and 661 was observed. This study was the first to examine the resistome of K. pneumoniae isolates from RACFs and demonstrated a complexity between genotypic and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance. The intra-facility dissemination and persistence of multidrug-resistant clones is concerning, given that residents are particularly vulnerable to antimicrobial resistant infections, and it highlights the need for continued surveillance and interventions to reduce the risk of outbreaks.
