This study aimed to characterize a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (KP411) recovered from the stool samples of poultry ( Gallus gallus ) in the Brazilian Amazon Region. The whole-genome sequencing of KP411 revealed the presence of an important arsenal of antimicrobial resistance genes to β-lactams ( bla CTX-M-14 , bla TEM-1B , bla KPC-2 , bla SVH-11 ), aminoglycosides [ aph(3″)- Ib, aph(6)-Id, aph(3')-Ia ], sulfonamides ( sul1, sul2 ), quinolones ( oqxAB ), fosfomycin ( fosA KP ), and macrolides [ mph(A) ]. Furthermore, our analyses revealed that the KP411 strain belongs to the ST258 clonal lineage, which is one of the main epidemic clones responsible for the dissemination of KPC-2 worldwide. Our data suggest that food-producing animals may act as reservoirs of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae belonging to the ST258 clone, and, consequently, contribute to their dissemination to humans and the environment.
