Particularly concerning is the widespread dissemination of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). Klebsiella pneumoniae harboring blaKPC (KPC-Kpn) is endemic in many areas including the United States, where the epidemic was primarily mediated by the clonal dissemination of Kpn ST258. We postulated that the spread of blaKPC in other regions occurs by different and more complex mechanisms. To test this, we investigated the evolution and dynamics of spread of KPC-Kpn in Colombia, where KPC became rapidly endemic after emerging in 2005.MethodsWe sequenced the genomes of 133 clinical isolates recovered from 24 tertiary care hospitals located in 10 cities throughout Colombia, between 2002 (before the emergence of KPC-Kpn) and 2014. Phylogenetic reconstructions and evolutionary mapping were performed to determine temporal and genetic associations between the isolates.ResultsOur results indicate that the start of the epidemic was driven by horizontal dissemination of mobile genetic elements carrying blaKPC-2, followed by the introduction and subsequent spread of clonal group 258 (CG258) isolates containing blaKPC-3.ConclusionsThe combination of 2 evolutionary mechanisms of KPC-Kpn within a challenged health system of a developing country created the "perfect storm" for sustained endemicity of these multidrug-resistant organisms in Colombia."xsd:string |
