Study population. Adult patients in the University of Michigan Health System’s ICU and adult hematology/oncology patients were screened for colonization and extraintestinal infection with K. pneumoniae between July and October 2014 (n = 1,765), divided into “infected” and “not infected” groups, and further divided into “colonized” and “not colonized.” The number of infections by body site are shown in boxes; one colonized patient met case definitions for both pneumonia and UTI.

Receiver operator characteristic curve for a multivariable model of risk factors for clinical infection. Multiple logistic regression of K. pneumoniae infection was used to generate a predictive model using five patient variables (Table 4). Bars and shaded areas of ROC curves represent bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals (10,000 replicates) for specificity at each level of sensitivity (AUC, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.72 to 0.84).

Phylogenetic tree for wzi sequence of patient rectal swab isolates. Unique patients (P) are numbered (P1 to P40). A rectal swab (S) isolate is indicated after the patient number and immediately before the isolate number (e.g., S463 is stool isolate number 463). The isolate wzi type is indicated, and novel alleles are designated unknown by UK. A total of 110 rectal swab isolates from 40 unique patients were tested for strain type using wzi gene sequencing. A total of 43 different wzi types of strains were identified. Rectal swab isolates for patients with K. pneumoniae colonization prior to infection were all included in the analysis (P1 to P16; colored font). The scale bar represents the amount of genetic change; 0.01 equals 1 change per 100 nucleotide sites. The numbers next to each node are the percentage of iterations that recovered the same node.

Core genome similarity between infecting and colonizing strains within patients. Patients who had concordant colonizing and infecting isolates based on wzi sequencing were further analyzed by WGS and core genome MLST and are represented by a unweighted pair group method using average linkages dendrogram along with isolate number, MLST type (ST), wzi type, and body site of culture (source). Each color represents an individual patient. Isolates 463 and 1946 (patient 1) were discordant by wzi and were included as a control.

Figure S1
The wzi sequencing method has similar discriminatory power as MLST. Phylogenetic trees based on MLST results (a) and wzi sequencing results (b) are shown, each distinguishing 16 sequence types among 20 K. pneumoniae isolates. The scale bar represents the amount of genetic change. The numbers next to each node are the percentages of iterations that recovered the same node. Download Figure S1, TIF file, 0.2 MB.

Figure S2
Phylogenetic trees of rectal swab and infecting isolates based on wzi gene sequencing. Phylogenetic trees, built using the neighbor-joining method, for infecting and colonizing isolates from patients with BSI (a), pneumonia (PNA) (b), and UTI (c) are shown along with the fraction of patients with a concordant colonizing-infecting isolate pair. Unique patients are indicated by different colors and labeled as follows: patient number_ isolate number_wzi allele (unless a novel allele), _K-type (if known), where the isolate number prefixes indicate rectal swab (S), blood (B), respiratory (R), or urine (U). The scale bar represents the amount of genetic change. The numbers next to each node are the percentages of iterations that recovered the same node. Download Figure S2, PDF file, 1.1 MB.

Concordant colonizing-infecting isolate pairs show high core genome allelic similarity. The minimum-spanning tree based on the core genome MLST profiles, onto which the number of allelic differences between isolates, is indicated along the links. Note that the numbers are not additive, and that the tree should not be interpreted as depicting phylogenetic relationships. Isolate names are shown in bold. Each color represents an individual patient. Isolates 463 and 1946 (patient 1) were discordant by wzi and included as a control. cgMLST profiles of isolates within a single circle were totally identical. Download Figure S3, PDF file, 0.6 MB.
