    Abstract:
    To examine the molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and investigate the horizontal transmission of blaKPC and blaNDM genes for the prevention and treatment of CRKP. A total of 49 clinically isolated CRKP strains were retrospectively analyzed from January to December 2022 at The First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine. Phenotypic screening was performed using modified carbapenem inactivation assay (mCIM) and EDTA-carbapenem inactivation assay (eCIM). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was utilized to identify carbapenem resistance genes, β-lactamase resistance genes, and virulence genes, while multi-locus sequence analysis (MLST) was employed to assess the homology of CRKP strains. Conjugation experiments were conducted to infer the horizontal transmission mechanism of blaKPC and blaNDM genes. The results showed that the study included 49 CRKP strains, with 44 carrying blaKPC and 8 carrying blaNDM, Three strains were identified as blaKPC+blaNDM-CRKP. In this study, 28 out of 49 CRKP strains (57.2%) were found to carry virulence genes. Additionally, one CRKP strain tested positive in the string test and was found to carry both Aerobactin and rmpA virulence genes. MLST results revealed a total of 5 ST types, with ST11 being predominant (41/49, 83.7%). Successful conjugation was observed in all 3 blaKPC-CRKP strains, while only 1 out of 3 blaNDM-CRKP strains showed successful conjugation. The transconjugant exhibited significantly reduced susceptibility to imipenem and cephalosporin antibiotics. In conclusion, the resistance mechanism of CRKP in this study is primarily attributed to the production of KPC enzymes, along with the presence of multiple β-lactamase resistance genes. Additionally, there is a local prevalence of hv-CRKP and blaKPC+blaNDM-CRKP. blaKPC and blaNDM can be horizontally transmitted through plasmids, with varying efficiency among different strains. 分析耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌（carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae，CRKP）分子流行病学及探讨blaKPC和blaNDM水平传播机制，为预防和治疗CRKP提供参考依据。回顾性分析2022年1—12月湖南中医药大学第一附属医院临床非重复分离的CRKP，共计 49株。采用改良碳青霉烯灭活实验（mCIM）、EDTA-碳青霉烯灭活实验（eCIM）进行表型筛选；聚合酶链式反应（PCR）检测CRKP碳青霉烯耐药基因、β内酰胺酶耐药基因和毒力基因；多位点序列分析检测CRKP菌株的同源性。通过接合试验，推断blaKPC和blaNDM两种碳青霉烯耐药基因的水平传播机制。结果显示，本研究共收集到CRKP 49株，有44株携带blaKPC，8株携带blaNDM，其中同时携带blaKPC和blaNDM两种耐药基因的CRKP（blaKPC+blaNDM-CRKP）有3株。28株CRKP携带毒力基因（28/49，57.2%），1株CRKP拉丝试验阳性，且同时携带Aerobactin和rmpA两种毒力基因。共检出5种ST型，以ST11为主（41/49，83.7%）。3株blaKPC-CRKP均接合成功，3株blaNDM-CRKP仅1株接合成功，接合子菌株对亚胺培南以及头孢菌素类抗菌药物的敏感性均显著降低。综上，本研究CRKP耐药机制主要以产KPC酶为主，且同时携带多种β-内酰酶耐药基因，并有高毒力耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌（high virulence carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae，hv-CRKP）和blaKPC+blaNDM-CRKP的局部流行。blaKPC和blaNDM可通过质粒水平传播，不同菌株的水平传播效率存在差异。.
