The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) sequence types (STs) in Iran. Samples were collected from three university hospitals in Sanandaj, Iran, from December 2016 to March 2018. Antibiotic susceptibility testing, phenotypic and genotypic detection of carbapenemases were performed. Common K. pneumoniae capsular types were sought for all isolates. The genetic relatedness of isolates was investigated by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Plasmids were detected by PCR-based Replicon Typing (PBRT). During the study, 67 K. pneumoniae isolates were identified. Of which, 18 (26.9%) isolates were detected as carbapenemresistant. The most effective antibacterial agent was tigecycline (97%, 65 isolates) followed by imipenem and ertapenem (73.13%, 49 isolates). PCR showed that 13 isolates (19.4%) had blaNDM-1 gene and 5 (7.5%) harbored blaOXA-48. Examination of common capsular types showed that 2 isolates had K2 and 2 others had K54. REP-PCR revealed 10 clones and 11 singleton strains. MLST analysis of CRKP found ST15 as the most common type (13 isolates, 72.2%), but other STs were also detected namely, ST19, ST117, ST1390, and ST1594. ColE1 and IncL/M plasmids were the carriers of blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-48, respectively. The results showed that CRKP spread in our health centers. Our results, therefore, indicate a worrying trend of resistance to carbapenems in K. pneumoniae.  Kulcsszavak: Klebsiella pneumoniae, PCR-based replicon typing, carbapenemase, MLST, high-risk clone
