Resistome and Genome Analysis of an Extensively Drug-Resistant Klebsiella michiganensis KMIB106: Characterization of a Novel KPC Plasmid pB106-1 and a Novel Cointegrate Plasmid pB106-IMP Harboring bla_IMP-4 and bla_SHV-12.

ABSTRACT: Klebsiella michiganensis is a recently emerging human pathogen causing nosocomial infections. This study aimed to characterize the complete genome sequence of a clinical Klebsiella michiganensis strain KMIB106 which exhibited extensive drug-resistance. The whole genome of the strain was sequenced using PacBio RS III systems and Illumina Nextseq 500. Annotation, transposable elements and resistance gene identification were analyzed by RAST, prokka and Plasmid Finder, respectively. According to the results, KMIB106 was resistant to multiple antimicrobials, including carbapenems, but it remained susceptible to aztreonam. The genome of KMIB106 consisted of a single chromosome and three predicted plasmids. Importantly, a novel KPC plasmid pB106-1 was found to carry the array of re
