Assessment of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Using Multilocus Sequence Typing in West of Iran
Background
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumonia (hvKP) has been considered due to severe infections such as pyogenic liver abscess, pneumonia, meningitis, endophthalmitis and necrotizing fasciitis. Due to the importance of the subject, hvKP isolates were investigated in the current study.
Methods
A total of 52 non-repetitive Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia) isolates were collected from clinical specimens (pleural fluid, blood, urine and trachal aspiration) of hospitalized patients in three well-known hospitals in Ilam, west of Iran. Phenotypic tests, including the string test and potassium tellurite resistance, and molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for iucA, iroB, iutA, and rmpA genes were used for hvKP diagnosis. In addition, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to clarify the genetic relationships between isolates.
Results
The mrkD, iroB, iucA, iutA, and rmpA genes were present in 6 (11.53%), 4 (7.7%), 12 (23.1%), 5 (9.6%), and 8 (15.4%) of the K. pneumoniae isolates, respectively. Eight isolates from different sources were identified with new sequence types (STs). These newly identified STs include ST-7466, ST-7467, ST-7468, ST-7469, ST-7470, ST-7471, ST-7472 and ST-7473.
Conclusions
We reported the eight new STs based on the MLST method for the phylogenetics of hvKP isolates. Our data indicated that no correlation between the phylogenetics of hvKP isolates. So, more extensive studies are needed to better understand the epidemiology of hvKP.
期刊介绍:
MicrobiologyOpen is a peer reviewed, fully open access, broad-scope, and interdisciplinary journal delivering rapid decisions and fast publication of microbial science, a field which is undergoing a profound and exciting evolution in this post-genomic era.
The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish quality research in both fundamental and applied microbiology. Our goal is to publish articles that stimulate discussion and debate, as well as add to our knowledge base and further the understanding of microbial interactions and microbial processes.
MicrobiologyOpen gives prompt and equal consideration to articles reporting theoretical, experimental, applied, and descriptive work in all aspects of bacteriology, virology, mycology and protistology, including, but not limited to:
- agriculture
- antimicrobial resistance
- astrobiology
- biochemistry
- biotechnology
- cell and molecular biology
- clinical microbiology
- computational, systems, and synthetic microbiology
- environmental science
- evolutionary biology, ecology, and systematics
- food science and technology
- genetics and genomics
- geobiology and earth science
- host-microbe interactions
- infectious diseases
- natural products discovery
- pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry
- physiology
- plant pathology
- veterinary microbiology
We will consider submissions across unicellular and cell-cluster organisms: prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) and eukaryotes (fungi, protists, microalgae, lichens), as well as viruses and prions infecting or interacting with microorganisms, plants and animals, including genetic, biochemical, biophysical, bioinformatic and structural analyses.
The journal features Original Articles (including full Research articles, Method articles, and Short Communications), Commentaries, Reviews, and Editorials. Original papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the article. We also support confirmatory research and aim to work with authors to meet reviewer expectations.
MicrobiologyOpen publishes articles submitted directly to the journal and those referred from other Wiley journals.
