Implication

Analyzes drug resistance and virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae from pigs, suggesting implications for animal health and antibiotic use.

Key Points

The aim is to investigate the molecular characteristics, including drug resistance and virulence factors, of Klebsiella pneumoniae from pigs in Henan Province.
Identified 65 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from pigs.
Determined the minimum inhibitory concentration using microbroth dilution.
Amplified drug-resistant genes and virulence factors via PCR.
Conducted correlation analysis between virulence and drug resistance factors.
Resistance rates against 12 antibiotics ranged from 1.54% to 89.23%.
Highest resistance observed against ciprofloxacin (89.23%) and levofloxacin (86.15%).
The bla CTX-M gene had the highest carriage rate among drug-resistant genes.
Biofilm formation was detected in 86.15% of the strains.
A correlation was found between biofilm formation and hypermucoviscous phenotype.
