    Tigecycline resistance is emerging among Klebsiella pneumoniae, but knowledge regarding in vivo development of tigecycline resistance is limited. Here we report a new mechanism of tigecycline resistance in K. pneumoniae that evolved during tigecycline therapy. Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were consecutively obtained from urine samples of a patient with scrotal abscess and urinary tract infection before and during tigecycline treatment. Two tigecycline-resistant K. pneumoniae strains (KP-3R and KP-4R; MIC = 8 mu g/mL) were isolated after 41 days and 47 days of tigecycline therapy. These isolates had the same sequence type (ST11) and PFGE patterns as tigecycline-susceptible strains (KP-1S and KP-2S; MIC = 2 mu g/mL) initially isolated from the patient. Compared with KP-1S and KP-2S, KP-3R and KP-4R exhibited higher expression of efflux pump AcrAB. Sequence comparison of the repressor gene ramR did not find any mutation within the open-reading frame that exist frequently in tigecycline-resistant K. pneumoniae. Instead, a 12-bp deletion of ramR upstream region including the ribosomal binding site (RBS) TGAGG was observed in KP-3R and KP-4R. qRT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses showed that KP-3R and KP-4R did not have impaired ramR transcription but had abolished RamR protein production. Furthermore, xylE reporter assay demonstrated that KP-3R and KP-4R had a defect in RamR translation caused by the 12-bp deletion. Complementing KP-3R and KP-4R with functional ramR suppressed expression of acrAB and consequently restored tigecycline susceptibility. This is the first report identifying deletion of the ramR RBS as a mechanism of in vivo tigecycline resistance in K. pneumoniae developing during tigecycline therapy.
