This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).The combination of ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) is a novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor with activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacterales. Emerging cases caused by CZA-resistant strains that produce variants of KPC genes have already been reported worldwide. However, to the best of our knowledge, no CZA-resistant strains were reported in Portugal. In September 2019, a K. pneumoniae CZA-resistant strain was collected from ascitic fluid at a surgery ward of a tertiary University Hospital Center in Lisboa, Portugal. The strain was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam, as well as to ceftazidime, cefoxitin, gentamicin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and ertapenem, being susceptible to imipenem and tigecycline. A hypermucoviscosity phenotype was confirmed by string test. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis revealed the presence of an ST13 KPC70-producing K. pneumoniae, a KPC-3 variant, differing in two amino-acid substitutions (D179Y and T263A). The D179Y mutation in the KPC Ω-loop region is the most common amino-acid substitution in KPC-2 and KPC-3, further leading to CZA resistance. The second mutation causes a KPC-70 variant in which threonine replaces alanine (T263A). The CZA-resistant strain showed the capsular locus KL3 and antigen locus O1v2. Other important virulence factors were identified: fimbrial adhesins type 1 and type 3, as well as the cluster of iron uptake systems aerobactin, enterobactin, salmochelin, and yersiniabactin included in integrative conjugative element 10 (ICEKp10) with the genotoxin colibactin cluster. Herein, we report the molecular characterization of the first hypervirulent CZA-resistant ST13 KPC-70-producing K. pneumoniae strain in Portugal. The emergence of CZA-resistant strains might pose a serious threat to public health and suggests an urgent need for enhanced clinical awareness and epidemiologic surveillance.This research was partially funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), grant number UIDB/04295/2020 and UIDP/04295/2020.
