We investigated a 6-month outbreak across three hospitals within a regional healthcare network in Lombardy, Northern Italy. Among 32 NDM-producing\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                      , isolated between December 2024 and May 2025, 19 belonged to ST147, including one NDM-1 producer and 18 carrying NDM-14 or its A233V variant NDM-61. Phylodynamic analysis of the ST147 NDM-14\/NDM-61 genomes showed they were closely related (8\u201391 core SNPs) and descended from a most recent common ancestor dated to June 2024 (95% highest posterior density interval, 6 months). Reconstruction of the transmission network hints at the presence of at least three transmission clusters within the healthcare system: a major chain involving 11 of 18 cases spanning wards and facilities, a separate pair of linked cases, and 5 epidemiologically unlinked cases, suggesting missed intermediates or secondary introductions. The spread was characterized by rapid local expansion of the clone across intensive care, medical, and rehabilitation. These findings underscore the propensity of NDM-14-producing ST147 to disseminate efficiently within interconnected hospitals and highlight the need for enhanced genomic surveillance, coordinated infection control strategies, and judicious use of last-resort agents in regional healthcare networks. In a global phylogenetic context, the Italian isolates clustered within a broader NDM-14 ST147 population composed of several geographically distinct clades associated with France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and the United Kingdom.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/aac.00545-26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]],"date-time":"2026-08-11T13:33:41Z","timestamp":1786455221000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Emergence and local dissemination of NDM-14-producing\n                    <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/i>\n                    ST147: a phylodynamic and epidemiological investigation"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9629-4637","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gabriele","family":"Arcari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00s409261","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Department of Medicine and Technological Innovation, University of Insubria","place":["Varese, Italy"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8484-3205","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mattia","family":"Carbotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Pavesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5562-5140","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Paolo","family":"Gigante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Capuano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Domenico","family":"Caleca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo Paolo","family":"Genoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00s409261","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Department of Medicine and Technological Innovation, University of Insubria","place":["Varese, Italy"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02s6h0431","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Laboratory of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi","place":["Varese, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5847-6568","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Stefano","family":"Gaiarsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology and Virology Unit, IRCCS Fondazione Policlinico San Matteo","place":["Pavia, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3108-6313","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gherard","family":"Batisti Biffignandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology and Virology Unit, IRCCS Fondazione Policlinico San Matteo","place":["Pavia, Italy"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00s6t1f81","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Biology and Biotechnology \"L.
