description <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is an increasingly important hospital pathogen. Classical <i>K. pneumoniae</i> (cKp) and hypervirulent <i>K. pneumoniae</i> (hvKp) are two distinct evolutionary genetic lines. The recently ongoing evolution of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> resulted in the generation of hybrid hvKP-MDR strains. <i>K. pneumoniae</i> distinct isolates (<i>n</i> = 70) belonged to 20 sequence types with the prevalence of ST395 (27.1%), ST23 (18.6%), ST147 (15.7%), and ST86 (7.1%), and 17 capsular types with the predominance of K2 (31.4%), K57 (18.6%), K64 (10.0%), K1 (5.7%) were isolated from patients of the Moscow neurosurgery ICU in 2014–2019. The rate of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and carbapenem-resistant phenotypes were 84.3% and 45.7%, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing of five selected strains belonging to cKp (ST395<sup>K47</sup> and ST147<sup>K64</sup>), hvKp (ST86<sup>K2</sup>), and hvKp-MDR (ST23<sup>K1</sup> and ST23<sup>K57</sup>) revealed <i>bla</i><sub>SHV</sub>, <i>bla</i><sub>TEM</sub>, <i>bla</i><sub>CTX</sub>, <i>bla</i><sub>OXA-48</sub>, and <i>bla</i><sub>NDM</sub> beta-lactamase genes; <i>acr</i>, <i>oqx</i>, <i>kpn</i>, <i>kde</i>, and <i>kex</i> efflux genes; and <i>K. pneumoniae</i> virulence genes. Selective pressure of 100 mg/L ampicillin or 10 mg/L ceftriaxone induced changes of expression levels for named genes in the strains belonging to cKp, hvKp, and hybrid hvKp-MDR. Obtained results seem to be important for epidemiologists and clinicians for enhancing knowledge about hospital pathogens.
