Popis: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) represents a major nosocomial pathogen with only a few antimicrobial agents, including colistin, remaining active. However, the emergence of colistin-resistant (Col-R) isolates is compromising the activity of colistin. In this study, a collection of 159 CRKP recovered from three hospitals in Moscow (Russian Federation) was examined. The isolates demonstrated resistance to cephalosporins (100%), ciprofloxacin (92.5%), fosfomycin (90.1%), netilmicin (81.1%), gentamicin (84.3%) and amikacin (49.7%). The rate of colistin resistance (MIC > 2 mg/L by broth microdilution) was 44.7%; moreover, 6.7% of isolates were tigecycline-resistant. Among 18 sequence types (STs) discovered, isolates of five lineages including ST307 (n = 46; 28.9%), ST395 (n = 40; 25.2%), ST377 (n = 17; 10.7%), ST48 (n = 17; 10.7%) and ST23 (n = 16; 10.1%) dominated. Carriage of a blaOXA-48-like carbapenemase gene was detected in 146 CRKP (91.8%); 11 (6.9%) and 2 (1.3%) isolates harboured blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-3, respectively. Among 71 Col-R isolates, colistin MICs ranged from 4 mg/L to >1024 mg/L (MIC50/90, 2/512 mg/L). All Col-R isolates were mcr-1-negative. In 19 (26.8%) Col-R isolates, inactivation of mgrB by insertion sequences IS1A, IS1R, ISKpn14 and ISKpn26 and a novel miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) Kpn1 was observed. Carriage of MITEKpn1 was restricted to six ST307 isolates and affected mgrB at nucleotide position 75. mgrB deletion was observed in four (5.6%) Col-R isolates. Moreover, PmrA and/or PmrB were altered in three (4.5%) Col-R isolates with wild-type mgrB. Thus, blaOXA-48-like-carrying Col-R ST307 K. pneumoniae is emerging as a dominant clone in Moscow.
