Phylogenetic analysis of KPC-producing and NDM-5–producing CG258 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from China, 2017, and reference strains. A) Core SNP phylogenetic analysis of 76 global CG258 (ST258 and ST11) and 2 ST258 strains from China. Lane 1, Bla_carb; lane 2, wzi (cps); lane 3, integrative and conjugative element Kp258.2; lane 4, marR; lane 5, ompK35 gene (guanine insertion at nt position 121). The maximum-likelihood tree was rooted by using ST11 strains. Bootstrap values >90% are indicat

A) Core SNP phylogenetic analysis of 76 global CG258 (ST258 and ST11) and 2 ST258 strains from China. Lane 1, Bla_carb; lane 2, wzi (cps); lane 3, integrative and conjugative element Kp258.2; lane 4, marR; lane 5, ompK35 gene (guanine insertion at nt position 121). The maximum-likelihood tree was rooted by using ST11 strains. Bootstrap values >90% are indicated as gray triangles at branch points. Sizes are proportion to values. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. B) Updated hypothesis of the molecular evolution of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae ST258 (9). Bla, β-lactamase; Carb, carbapenemase; cps, capsular polysaccharide gene; ICE, integrative and conjugative element; ins, insertion; KPC, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase; MarR, transcriptional regulator protein of the multiple antimicrobial drug resistance repressor family; NDM, New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase; ompK35, outer membrane protein K35; OXA, oxacillinase; pKPC, plasmid carrying KPC; ST, sequence type; VIM-1, Verona integron–encoded metallo- β-lactamase 1; wzi, surface assembly of capsule gene.
