Two metallo-β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HA30 and HA31) were isolated in a hospital in Argentina during 2018. K. pneumoniae HA30 was isolated from a rectal swab during the epidemiological surveillance for carbapenemase-producing strains, while K. pneumoniae HA31 was collected from the same patient 4 days after hospitalization. The aim of the present study was to identify the clonal relationships and resistome of these two NDM-producing K. pneumoniae strains isolated from a patient with a fatal outcome. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using Illumina MiSeq-I, and subsequent analysis involved genome assembly, annotation, antibiotic resistance gene identification, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and plasmid characterization using bioinformatics tools. Conjugation assays to E. coli J53 was conducted as previously described. K. pneumoniae HA30 exhibited extensively drug-resistant phenotype, while HA31 was multidrug-resistant as defined by Magiorakos et al., including both resistance to carbapenems, aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin with bla NDM-5 , bla CTX-M-15 and rmtB genes found in both strains. MLST analysis showed that both strains belonged to ST11, differing by only 4 cgSNPs, indicating that K. pneumoniae HA30 and HA31 were the same strain. Conjugation assays revealed that K. pneumoniae HA31 strain possessed a transferable plasmid to E. coli J53. Bioinformatics studies identified that the same strain colonizing an inpatient during hospital admission subsequently caused the infection leading to a fatal outcome, being the first report of bla NDM-5 , rmtB and bla CTX-M-15 genes in a K. pneumoniae ST11 strain from Latin America. Our results also highlighted the importance of focusing on epidemiological surveillance programs.
