Multidrug-resistant hypervirulent (MDR-hvKP) combines high pathogenicity with multidrug resistance to become a new superbug. MDR-hvKP reports continue to emerge, shattering the perception that hypervirulent (hvKP) strains are antibiotic sensitive. Patients infected with MDR-hvKP strains have been reported in Asia, particularly China. Although hvKP can acquire drug resistance genes, MDR-hvKP seems to be more easily transformed from classical (cKP), which has a strong gene uptake ability. To better understand the biology of MDR-hvKP, this review discusses the virulence factors, resistance mechanisms, formation pathways, and identification of MDR-hvKP. Given their destructive and transmissible potential, continued surveillance of these organisms and enhanced control measures should be prioritized.
多重耐药高毒力(MDR-hvKP)将高致病性与多重耐药性结合在一起,成为一种新的超级细菌。MDR-hvKP的报道不断出现,打破了高毒力(hvKP)菌株对抗生素敏感的认知。亚洲,尤其是中国,已有感染MDR-hvKP菌株的患者报道。虽然hvKP可获得耐药基因,但MDR-hvKP似乎更容易从具有强大基因摄取能力的经典(cKP)菌株转化而来。为了更好地了解MDR-hvKP的生物学特性,本综述讨论了MDR-hvKP的毒力因子、耐药机制、形成途径及鉴定方法。鉴于其具有的破坏和传播潜力,应优先持续监测这些病原体并加强控制措施。
