摘要: Klebsiella variicola is a widespread opportunistic pathogen that causes infections in humans and animals. Herein a novel Klebsiella strain, AHKv-S01, was isolated and identified from dead chicken embryos in Anhui, China. Its genome contained a circular chromosome of 5,505,304 bp, with 5244 protein-coding genes, and an integrative conjugative element region containing 79 ORF sequences. AHKv-S01 was given a new sequence type number-174. Phylogenetic analyses showed that rpoB partial nucleotide sequences were highly reliable for identifying Klebsiella spp. Most of the 340 unique genes of AHKv-S01 were involved in cell envelop biogenesis, transcription, transport, and metabolic processes. Moreover, AHKv-S01 was sensitive to several antibiotics, but it showed strong resistance to penicillins, macrolides, and lincosamide. The genome contained three drug efflux pump superfamilies, beta-lactamase genes, and fosfomycin resistance-related genes. Most drug resistance genes showed amino acid mutations. Multiple virulence and pathogenic factors were also identified, and they were mainly related to adhesion, secretion, iron acquisition, and immune evasion. Chicken embryo lethality assay results revealed that the 7-day chicken embryo lethality rate was 80%, 40%, and 50% for AHKv-S01, K. pneumoniae ATCC10031, and K. pneumoniae CICC24714, respectively. The median lethal dose of AHKv-S01 was 39.9 CFU/embryo. Even low infection levels of AHKv-S01 caused a significant reduction in chicken embryo hatchability. Severe pathological changes to the liver, heart, and brain tissues of embryos infected with AHKv-S01 were observed, and these changes appeared earlier in the heart and brain than in the liver. To conclude, our results provide a foundation for further studies aiming to assess the potential risk of K. variicola to poultry populations and production yields.
