English abstract Pandrug-resistant (PDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae has been reported sporadically in many countries and remains rare in Brazil. OBJECTIVES This study unravelled the genetic determinants involved with the PDR background of a clinical ST11 K. pneumoniae recovered in the Brazilian Amazon Region, where K. pneumoniae genomic and epidemiological information is scarce. METHODS Kp196 was submitted to the antimicrobial susceptibility test by the disk-diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination. The whole genome sequencing was obtained and the sequence type was determined by core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST). Its intrinsic and acquired resistome was assessed by Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) and comparison with wild-type genes. FINDINGS The analyses revealed that Kp196 belonged to the pandemic ST11 and presented the PDR phenotype. Its acquired resistome was composed of a huge set of clinically relevant resistance determinants, including bla CTX-M-15 and bla NDM-1, all found in the vicinity of mobile platforms. Considering its intrinsic resistome, the multidrug resistance, especially to colistin, tigecycline and fluoroquinolones, was multifactorial and attributed to modifications (indels, missense mutations, and gene disruption) in several housekeeping genes (arnT/phoQ/mgrB/ramR/acrB/gyrA/parC/ompK35-36-37). The Kp196 intrinsic resistome was also observed in a ST11 environmental strain, although harbouring distinct acquired resistomes. CONCLUSIONS An accumulation of different resistance mechanisms regarding the intrinsic resistome accounts for a more stable resistome, strongly contributing to the Kp196 PDR phenotype
