Abstract
Providencia rettgeri, belonging to the genus Providencia, had gained significant interest due to its increasing prevalence as a common pathogen responsible for healthcare-associated infections in hospitals. P. rettgeri isolates producing carbapenemases have been reported to reduce the efficiency of carbapenems in clinical antimicrobial therapy. However, coexistence with other resistance determinants is rarely reported. The goal of this study was the molecular characterization of carbapenemase-producing Providencia spp. clinical isolates. Among 23 Providencia spp. resistant to imipenem, 21 were positive to blaNDM-1; one positive to blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-58 like; and one isolate co-producing blaIMP-27, blaOXA-24/40 like, and blaOXA-58 like were identified. We observed a low clonal relationship, and the incompatibility groups Col3M and ColRNAI were identified in the plasmid harboring blaNDM-1. We report for the first time a P. rettgeri strain co-producing blaIMP-27, blaOXA-24-like, and blaOXA-58 like. The analysis of these resistance mechanisms in carbapenemase co-producing clinical isolates reflects the increased resistance.

Abstract
The spread of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli has constantly increased in both clinical and community infections. Actually, the main ESBL reported is the CTX-M family, which is widely disseminated between the Enterobacteriaceae family. The epidemiology of the CTX-M family shows the CTX-M-15 variant dominating worldwide, followed by CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-27. The specific ESBL-producing E. coli clones included mainly the sequence types ST131, ST405, and ST648. In this report, we present the molecular characterization of ESBL-producing E. coli clinical isolates from eight hospitals in Mexico. From a collection of 66 isolates, 39 (59%) were identified as blaCTX-M-14 and blaCTX-M-27 belonging to the group CTX-M-9. We identified 25 (38%) isolates, producing blaCTX-M-28 belonging to the group CTX-M-1. blaCTX-M-2 and blaTEM-55 were identified in one isolate, respectively. Fourteen isolates (21%) were positive for blaCTX-M-14 (13%) and blaCTX-M-28 (7.3%) that were selected for further analyses; the antimicrobial susceptibility showed resistance to ampicillin (> 256 µg/mL), cefotaxime (> 256 µg/mL), cefepime (> 64 µg/mL), and ceftazidime (16 µg/mL). The ResFinder analysis showed the presence of the antimicrobial resistance genes aacA4, aadA5, aac(3)lla, sul1, dfrA17, tet(A), cmlA1, and blaTEM-1B. PlasmidFinder analysis identified in all the isolates the replicons IncFIB, which were confirmed by PCR replicon typing. The MLST analysis identified isolates belonging to ST131, ST167, ST405, and ST648. The ISEcp1B genetic element was found at 250 pb upstream of blaCTX-M-14 and flanked by the IS903 genetic element at 35 pb downstream. The IS1380-like element ISEc9 family transposase was identified at 250 pb upstream of blaCTX-M-14 and flanked downstream by the IS5/IS1182 at 80 pb. Our study highlights the significant prevalence of CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-28 enzymes as the second-most common ESBL-producing E. coli among isolates in Mexican hospitals. The identification of specific sequence types in different regions provides valuable insights into the correlation between ESBL and E. coli strains. This contribution to understanding their epidemiology and potential transmission routes is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate the spread of ESBL-producing E. coli in healthcare settings.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a major global public health problem, with fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of Escherichia coli posing a significant threat. This study examines the genetic characterization of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates in Mexican hospitals, which are resistant to both cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones. A total of 23 ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were found to be positive for the qepA gene, which confers resistance to fluoroquinolones. These isolates exhibited drug resistance phenotypes and belonged to specific sequence types and phylogenetic groups. The genetic context of the qepA gene was identified in a novel genetic context flanked by IS26 sequences. Mating experiments showed the co-transfer of qepA1 and chrA determinants alongside blaCTX-M-15 genes, emphasizing the potential for these genetic structures to spread among Enterobacterales. The emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria carrying these resistance genes is a significant clinical concern for public healthcare systems.

Abstract
Plasmids play a fundamental role in the evolution of bacteria by allowing them to adapt to different environments and acquire, through horizontal transfer, genes that confer resistance to different classes of antibiotics. Using the available in vitro and in silico plasmid typing systems, we analyzed a set of isolates and public genomes of K. variicola to study its plasmid diversity. The resistome, the plasmid multilocus sequence typing (pMLST), and molecular epidemiology using the MLST system were also studied. A high frequency of IncF plasmids from human isolates but lower frequency from plant isolates were found in our strain collection. In silico detection revealed 297 incompatibility (Inc) groups, but the IncFIBK (216/297) predominated in plasmids from human and environmental samples, followed by IncFIIK (89/297) and IncFIA/FIA(HI1) (75/297). These Inc groups were associated with clinically important ESBL (CTX-M-15), carbapenemases (KPC-2 and NDM-1), and colistin-resistant genes which were associated with major sequence types (ST): ST60, ST20, and ST10. In silico MOB typing showed 76% (311/404) of the genomes contained one or more of the six relaxase families with MOBF being most abundant. We identified untypeable plasmids carrying blaKPC-2, blaIMP-1, and blaSHV-187 but for which a relaxase was found; this may suggest that novel plasmid structures could be emerging in this bacterial species. The plasmid content in K. variicola has limited diversity, predominantly composed of IncFIBK plasmids dispersed in different STs. Plasmid detection using the replicon and MOB typing scheme provide a broader context of the plasmids in K. variicola. This study showed that whole-sequence-based typing provides current insights of the prevalence of plasmid types and their association with antimicrobial resistant genes in K. variicola obtained from humans and environmental niches.

Abstract
Introduction: Hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae have gained clinical and epidemiological interest because of their capacity to cause severe and life-threatening infections.
Methodology: We report a case involving infection with a hypervirulent K. pneumoniae K2 strain that caused liver abscess in a young woman with type 1 diabetes in Mexico.
Results: The infection was found to be associated with biliary tract communication. The virulence factors and capsular serotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction analysis. After guided drainage and directed antibiotic treatment, the infection resolved and the patient recovered. Colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains, together with the presence of comorbidity, such as diabetes are important factors that contribute to the development of liver abscess.
Conclusions: The identification of virulent clones is important to understand the pathogenicity and improve control of infections in the patients.

Abstract
Accurate recognition of the closely related species Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella quasipneumoniae and Klebsiella variicola by phenotypic, biochemical and automated tests is notoriously unreliable in hospitals' diagnostic laboratories. A comparative genomics approach was conducted for the correct differentiation of the main bacterial species in the K. pneumoniae complex. Analysis of the deduced proteomes of 87 unique genomes of the Klebsiella in public databases, was used for the identification of unique protein family members. This allowed the design of a multiplex-PCR assay for the correct differentiation of these three species from different origins. This system allowed us to determine the prevalence of K. pneumoniae, K. quasipneumoniae and K. variicola among a collection of 552 clinical isolates. Of these, 87.3% (482/552) isolates corresponded to K. pneumoniae, 6.7% (33/552) to K. quasipneumoniae and 5.9% (33/552) to K. variicola. The multiplex-PCR results showed a 100% accuracy for the correct identification of the three species evaluated, which was validated with rpoB phylogenetic sequence analysis.

Abstract
Klebsiella variicola has been found in various natural niches, alone or in association with other bacteria, and causes diseases in animals and plants with important economic and environmental impacts. K. variicola has the capacity to fix nitrogen in the rhizosphere and soil; produces indole acetic acid, acetoin, and ammonia; and dissolves phosphorus and potassium, which play an important role in plant growth promotion and nutrition. Some members of K. variicola have properties such as halotolerance and alkalotolerance, conferring an evolutionary advantage. In the environmental protection, K. variicola can be used in the wastewater treatment, biodegradation, and bioremediation of polluted soil, either alone or in association with other organisms. In addition, it has the potential to carry out industrial processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries, like the production of maltose and glucose by the catalysis of debranching unmodified oligosaccharides by the pullulanase enzyme. Finally, this bacterium has the ability to transform chemical energy into electrical energy, such as a biocatalyst, which could be useful in the near future. These properties show that K. variicola should be considered an eco-friendly bacterium with hopeful technological promise. In this review, we explore the most significant aspects of K. variicola and highlight its potential applications in environmental and biotechnological processes.

Abstract
Aim This report presents phenotypic and genetic data on the prevalence and characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and representative carbapenemases-producing Gram-negative species in Mexico. Material and methods A total of 52 centers participated, 43 hospital-based laboratories and 9 external laboratories. The distribution of antimicrobial resistance data for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae complex, Acinetobacter baumannii complex, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in selected clinical specimens from January 1 to March 31, 2020 was analyzed using the WHONET 5.6 platform. The following clinical isolates recovered from selected specimens were included: carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, ESBL or carbapenem-resistant E. coli, and K. pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii complex, and P. aeruginosa. Strains were genotyped to detect ESBL and/or carbapenemase-encoding genes. Results Among blood isolates, A. baumannii complex showed more than 68% resistance for all antibiotics tested, and among Enterobacteria, E. cloacae complex showed higher resistance to carbapenems. A. baumannii complex showed a higher resistance pattern for respiratory specimens, with only amikacin having a resistance lower than 70%. Among K. pneumoniae isolates, blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX were detected in 68.79%, 72.3%, and 91.9% of isolates, respectively. Among E. coli isolates, blaTEM, blaSHV, and blaCTX were detected in 20.8%, 4.53%, and 85.7% isolates, respectively. For both species, the most frequent genotype was blaCTX-M-15. Among Enterobacteriaceae, the most frequently detected carbapenemase-encoding gene was blaNDM-1 (81.5%), followed by blaOXA-232 (14.8%) and blaoxa-181(7.4%), in A. baumannii was blaOXA-24 (76%) and in P. aeruginosa, was blaIMP (25.3%), followed by blaGES and blaVIM (13.1% each). Conclusion Our study reports that NDM-1 is the most frequent carbapenemase-encoding gene in Mexico in Enterobacteriaceae with the circulation of the oxacillinase genes 181 and 232. KPC, in contrast to other countries in Latin America and the USA, is a rare occurrence. Additionally, a high circulation of ESBL blaCTX-M-15 exists in both E. coli and K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the presence of the crpP gene, which encodes an enzymatic mechanism of antibiotic phosphorylation that decreases ciprofloxacin susceptibility, in ESBL-producing clinical isolates and its effect in transconjugants. METHODS A collection of 77 ESBL-producing clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and 68 ESBL-producing transconjugants that had acquired plasmids from clinical isolates from hospitals in Mexico obtained from 1988 to 2012 was employed. The crpP homologue genes were identified by dot-blot and PCR assays; five of them were sequenced and an in silico analysis was conducted. Expression of CrpP proteins was determined by western blot assays using antibodies against CrpP from plasmid pUM505. Three crpP homologue genes were cloned and transferred to Escherichia coli J53-3 as recipient strain. RESULTS The crpP gene was identified in four (5.19%) ESBL-producing isolates and five (7.35%) ESBL-producing transconjugants with plasmids from clinical isolates. Analysis of the deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of the CrpP protein homologues revealed that they all corresponded to small proteins (63-70 aa) with an identity of 10.1%-43.7% with respect to the pUM505 CrpP sequence. In addition, all crpP-positive transconjugants expressed a CrpP protein. Finally, transfer of crpP homologues conferred lower ciprofloxacin susceptibility to E. coli. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate the presence of crpP genes among ESBL-producing isolates from Mexican hospitals and point to widespread crpP-type genes in old Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates (from 1994). CrpP probably confers resistance by means of the phosphorylation of ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
Bovine mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland of dairy cattle, is the most prevalent disease causing economically important losses, reduced milk production, early culling, veterinary expenses, and higher death rates. Bovine mastitis infections are the main cause for the use of antibiotics; however, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and the poor or nil response to antibiotics has become a critical global health problem. The goal of this study was the characterization of bacterial infections associated with clinical bovine mastitis. All the isolates were multidrug-resistant and were negative for the production of extended spectrum β-lactamases. However, all isolates were identified as carbapenemase-producing organisms by the Carba NP test. The carbapenemase identified was the product of the KPC-2 gene. The isolates were identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae and contained virulence genes for fimbriae, lipopolysaccharides, nitrogen starvation genes, and siderophores. Sixty-nine percent of the KPC-2-producing isolates had the same plasmid profile, although the genetic mobilization of resistance by bacterial conjugation was unsuccessful. The carbapenemase corresponded to the plasmid-borne KPC-2 gene identified by Southern blot hybridization. The assay showed a positive signal in the 90 kb (69% of the isolates), 165 kb (31% of the isolates), and 130 kb (6% of the isolates) plasmids. The IncFIIy and IncFIIk replicons were detected among these K. pneumoniae isolates. The PFGE and MLST analysis showed that all of the isolates are comprised by two clones (A and B) belonging to Sequence Type 258. This is the first report of K. pneumoniae producing carbapenemase KPC-2 isolated from bovine mastitis.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria isolated in Venezuela have been poorly characterized. The present study characterized a total of 34 isolates obtained from 27 patients; five of these patients were multi-infected. The bacterial species identified were Klebsiella pneumoniae (17), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9), and Acinetobacter baumannii (8). From these isolates, 85% were identified as carbapenemase-producing bacteria, and the identified carbapenemase genes were blaKPC-2 (10/29 [34.4%]), blaVIM-type (7/29 [24.1%]), blaOXA-23 (7/29 [24.1%]), blaNDM-1 (8/29 [27.5%]), and the coexistence of blaOXA-23/blaNDM-1 (2/29 [6.8%]). Patient 1 was multi-infected by K. pneumoniae ST11 and ST2413 isolates harbouring the blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 genes, respectively. The other patients were multi-infected by two or three different bacterial species such as ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates, P. aeruginosa harbouring the blaVIM-type gene, K. pneumoniae ST147 harbouring the blaKPC-2 gene and by A. baumannii harbouring the blaOXA-23 gene. The blaNDM-1 gene in A. baumannii is flanked by an uncommon genetic structure, whereas blaNDM-1 gene in K. pneumoniae revealed a common structure described in different plasmids from Enterobacteriaceae isolates. This study provides new information about the epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing bacteria in clinical setting in Venezuela.

Abstract
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae have been rarely described in Latin America. This work describes the characterization of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae isolates capsular serotype K2 belonging to sequence types 86 and 380. The assays showed the hypervirulent K. pneumoniae highly virulent, which is determined by the plasmid borne virulence genes. At this time, the hypervirulent K. pneumoniae clinical isolates in Mexico are extensively susceptible to antibiotics.

Abstract
The Klebsiella pneumoniae complex comprises seven K. pneumoniae-related species, including K. variicola. K. variicola is a versatile bacterium capable of colonizing different hosts such as plants, humans, insects and animals. Currently, K. variicola is gaining recognition as a cause of several human infections; nevertheless, its virulence profile is not fully characterized. The clinical significance of K. variicola infection is hidden by imprecise detection methods that underestimate its real prevalence; however, several methods have been developed to correctly identify this species. Recent studies of carbapenemase-producing and colistin-resistant strains demonstrate a potential reservoir of multidrug-resistant genes. This finding presents an imminent scenario for spreading antimicrobial resistant genes among close relatives and, more concerningly, in clinical and environmental settings. Since K. variicola was identified as a novel bacterial species, different research groups have contributed findings elucidating this pathogen; however, important details about its epidemiology, pathogenesis and ecology are still missing. This review highlights the most significant aspects of K. variicola, discussing its different phenotypes, mechanisms of resistance, and virulence traits, as well as the types of infections associated with this pathogen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Due to the fact that K. variicola, K. quasipneumoniae and K. pneumoniae are closely related bacterial species, misclassification can occur due to mistakes either in normal biochemical tests or during submission to public databases. The objective of this work was to identify K. variicola and K. quasipneumoniae genomes misclassified in GenBank database. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both rpoB phylogenies and average nucleotide identity (ANI) were used to identify a significant number of misclassified Klebsiella spp. genomes. RESULTS Here we report an update of K. variicola and K. Quasipneumoniae genomes correctly classified and a list of isolated genomes obtained from humans, plants, animals and insects, described originally as K. pneumoniae or K. variicola, but known now to be misclassified. CONCLUSIONS This work contributes to recognize the extensive presence of K. variicola and K. quasipneumoniae isolates in diverse sites and samples.

Abstract
Klebsiella spp. isolates from community-acquired infections were characterized. A total of 39 Klebsiella spp. isolates were obtained from outpatients at four rural hospitals in Mexico (2013–2014). The biochemical tests identified all as being K. pneumoniae. The molecular multiplex-PCR test identified 36 (92.4%) K. pneumoniae isolates and one (2.5%) K. variicola isolate, and phylogenetic analysis of the rpoB gene identified two isolates (5.1%) belonging to K. quasipneumoniae subsp. quasipneumoniae and K. quasivariicola. The last one was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis of six-loci concatenated genes. Mostly the isolates were multidrug resistant; however, a minority were extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing (10.2%). The extended-spectrum β-lactamase CTX-M-15 gene was identified in these isolates. Analysis of biofilm production and the hypermucoviscosity phenotype showed a total of 35 (92.3%) and seven (17.9%) of the isolates were positive for these phenotypes respectively. The K2 (4/39, 10.2%), K5 (2/39, 5.1%) and K54 (1/39, 2.5%) serotypes were identified in seven (17.9%) of the isolates, and only 28.5% (2/7) hypermucoviscous isolates were positive for the K2 and K5 serotypes. In general, the sequence type (ST) analysis and phylogenetic analysis of seven multilocus sequence typing loci were heterogeneous; however, ST29 was the most prevalent ST in the analysed isolates, accounting for 19% (4/21) of the total isolates. Two of the four ST29 isolates had the hypermucoviscosity phenotype. The virulence factors for fimbriae were the most prevalent, followed by siderophores. Community-acquired infections are caused by various species from Klebsiella genus, with different profiles of antibiotic resistance and heterogeneous virulence factors.

Abstract
Since the hypermucoviscous variants of Klebsiella pneumoniae were first reported, many cases of primary liver abscesses and other invasive infections caused by this pathogen have been described worldwide. Hypermucoviscosity is a phenotypic feature characterized by the formation of a viscous filament ≥5 mm when a bacterial colony is stretched by a bacteriological loop; this is the so-called positive string test. Hypermucoviscosity appears to be associated with this unusual and aggressive type of infection, and therefore, the causal strains are considered hypervirulent. Since these first reports, the terms hypermucoviscosity and hypervirulence have often been used synonymously. However, new evidence has suggested that hypermucoviscosity and hypervirulence are 2 different phenotypes that should not be used synonymously. Moreover, it is important to establish that a negative string test is insufficient in determining whether a strain is or is not hypervirulent. On the other hand, hypervirulence- and hypermucoviscosity-associated genes must be identified, considering that these phenotypes correspond to 2 different phenomena, regardless of whether they can act in synergy under certain circumstances. Therefore, it is essential to quickly identify the genetic determinants behind the hypervirulent phenotype to develop effective methodologies that can diagnose in a prompt and effective way these hypervirulent variants of K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
A collection of 15 carbapenem-resistance Acinetobacter baumannii clinical
isolates was analysed on two tertiary hospitals in Mexico. The OXA-51 was identified in all
isolates, followed by OXA-239 and OXA-58; OXA-239 is described as a new OXA-23-like allele. These
carbapenemases were identified on four clonal groups, distributed between two neighbouring
hospitals. Acinetobacter baumannii is poorly studied in Mexico; this situation
urges the implementation of strategies to prevent its dissemination.
