description Klebsiella pneumoniae is considered a threat to public health especially due to multidrug resistance emergence. It is largely oligoclonal based on multi-locus sequence typing (MLST); in Egypt, ST 627 was recently detected. Despites the global dissemination of this ST, there is still paucity of information about it. Herein, we used 4 K. pneumoniae ST627 for whole genome sequencing utilizing an Illumina MiSeq platform. Genome sequences were examined for resistance and virulence determinants, capsular types, plasmids, insertion sequences, phage regions, and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) regions using bioinformatic analysis. The molecular characterization revealed 15 and 65 antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, respectively. Resistance genes such as tet(D), aph(3’’)-Ib, aph(6)-Id, blaTEM-234, fosA, and fosA6; were mainly responsible for tetracycline, aminoglycoside, and fosfomycin resistance; respectively. The capsular typing revealed that the four strains are KL-24 and O1v1. One plasmid was found in all samples known as pC17KP0052-1 and another plasmid with accession no. NZ_CP032191.1 was found only in K90. IncFIB(K) and IncFII(K) are two replicons found in all samples, while ColRNAI replicon was found only in K90. Entero P88, Salmon SEN5, and Klebsi phiKO2 intact phage regions were identified. All samples harbored CRISPR arrays including CRISPR1 and CRISPR2. Our results shed light on critical tasks of mobile genetic elements in ST 627 in antibiotic resistance spreading.
