Using aGalleria mellonellaanimal model, we compared the virulence of two sequence type 258 (ST258) KPC-producingKlebsiella pneumoniaestrains, which were representative of the two clades of this clonal lineage, with that of isogenic colistin-resistantmgrBmutants. With both strains, themgrBmutants did not exhibit modification in virulence. In theG. mellonellamodel, the clade 1 strain (capsular typecps-1[wzi29, producing KPC-2]) was significantly more virulent than the clade 2 strain (capsular typecps-2[wzi154, producing KPC-3]).
利用家蚕模型,我们比较了两个序列型258(ST258)产KPC的肺炎克雷伯菌菌株(它们代表了该克隆谱系的两个分支)与同基因耐黏菌素mgrB突变体的毒力。对于这两个菌株,mgrB突变体的毒力均未表现出改变。在家蚕模型中,分支1菌株(荚膜型cps-1[wzi29,产KPC-2])的毒力显著高于分支2菌株(荚膜型cps-2[wzi154,产KPC-3])。
