Genetic features of bla_NDM-1 harboring Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from Kerman, Iran.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The genetic features of harboring Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from Kerman, Iran, are important to investigate, as they can reveal the genetic diversity, resistance mechanisms, and potential virulence of these clinically significant strains, contributing to better understanding and control of their spread in both local and global contexts.

Methods

In this study, we report the genetic features of 37 NDM-1-harboring K. pneumoniae, including the ability to biofilm formation, resistance genes, virulence factors, toxin-antitoxin systems (TAs), class of integrons, gene mapping of the bla_NDM-1, and genetic relationships using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing.

Results

All isolates were biofilm producers, and serotype K20 was the most comm
