Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined using the broth microdilution method. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed for all isolates. Sequence typing (ST), resistance genes, and plasmid types were identified using the PubMLST, ResFinder, and PlasmidFinder databases, respectively. Conjugation experiments were conducted to assess plasmid transferability. Additionally, 344 publicly available\n                      <jats:italic>K. michiganensis<\/jats:italic>\n                      genomes were retrieved and used to construct a phylogenetic tree based on core-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      WGS revealed that all six isolates belonged to ST477 and harbored\n                      <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>NDM-1<\/jats:sub>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>SFO-1<\/jats:sub>\n                      , and\n                      <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>VEB-3<\/jats:sub>\n                      . The maximum pairwise difference among the six isolates was only 8 SNPs, indicating clonal transmission. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed high-level resistance to imipenem, meropenem, and ceftazidime-avibactam, while susceptibility was retained to amikacin, aztreonam-avibactam, eravacycline, tigecycline, and colistin. Conjugation assays confirmed that the\n                      <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>NDM-1<\/jats:sub>\n                      -carrying plasmid was self-transmissible. Clinical data showed that four of the six patients had a history of transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU). Phylogenetic analysis combined with resistance gene profiling based on publicly available genomes revealed that 50% (175\/350) of\n                      <jats:italic>K. michiganensis<\/jats:italic>\n                      isolates from human hosts carried carbapenem resistance genes. Notably, Isolates from China exhibited a higher carriage rate of carbapenemase genes (76.1%, 51\/67).
