Genomic Insights Into Carbapenem‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pediatric Bloodstream Infections in Zhejiang, China (2019–2024)

Key Points

The aim is to identify the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae for effective management.
Analyzed genomic data of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from pediatric bloodstream infections.
Identified mechanisms of carbapenem resistance.
Characterized dominant clones and their transmission patterns.
Class B metalloenzymes are the primary mechanism of carbapenem resistance.
The ST25-KL2 lineage is identified as the dominant clone.
Increased risk of nosocomial transmission associated with the ST25-KL2 clone.

Abstract

This study determined that the production of class B metalloenzymes is the primary mechanism of carbapenem resistance in pediatric bloodstream infections caused by CRKP. Importantly, the ST25-KL2 lineage emerged as the dominant clone, highlighting its potential for nosocomial transmission.
