Résumé
A novel KPC variant, KPC-41, was identified in a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate from Switzerland. This ß-lactamase possessed a three amino-acid insertion (Pro-Asn-Lys) located between amino acids 269 and 270 compared to the KPC-3 amino acid sequence. Cloning and expression of the bla <sub>KPC-41</sub> gene in Escherichia coli, followed by determination of MIC values and kinetic parameters, showed that KPC-41, compared to KPC-3, has an increased affinity to ceftazidime and a decreased sensitivity to avibactam, leading to resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam once produced in K. pneumoniae Furthermore, KPC-41 exhibited a drastic decrease of its carbapenemase activity. This report highlights that a diversity of KPC variants conferring resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam already circulate in Europe.
