摘要： The spread of hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (Hv-CRKP) is a global health concern. Here, we report the intrahospital colonization and spread of Hv-CRKP isolates in a tertiary hospital from 2017 to 2022. Analyses of 90 nonredundant CRKP isolates from 72 patients indicated that Hv-CRKP transferability relies on the dominant ST11-K64 clone. Whole-genome sequencing of 11 representative isolates gave 31 complete plasmid sequences, including 12 KPC-2 resistance carriers and 10 RmpA virulence vehicles. Apart from the binary vehicles, we detected two types of fusion plasmids, favoring the cotransfer of RmpA virulence and KPC-2 resistance. The detection of ancestry/relic plasmids enabled us to establish genetic mechanisms by which rare fusion plasmids form. Unexpectedly, we found a total of five rmpA promoter variants (P9T-P13T) exhibiting distinct activities and varying markedly in their geographic distributions. CRISPR/Cas9 manipulation confirmed that an active PT11-rmpA regulator is a biomarker for the "high-risk" ST11-K64/CRKP clone. These findings suggest clonal spread and clinical evolution of the prevalent ST11-K64/Hv-CRKP clones. Apart from improved public awareness of Hv-CRKP convergence, our findings might benefit the development of surveillance (and/or intervention) strategies for the dominant ST11-K64 lineage of the Hv-CRKP population in healthcare sectors.(c) 2023 Science China Press.
