Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious infections in humans and animals. However, the availability of epidemiological information on clinical mastitis due to K. pneumoniae is limited. To acquire new information regarding K. pneumoniae mastitis, data were mined about K. pneumoniae strains on dairy cattle farms (farms A to H) in 7 Chinese provinces in 2021. Hypermucoviscous strains of K. pneumoniae were obtained by the string test. MICs of antimicrobial agents were determined via the broth microdilution method. Ten antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence genes were identified by PCR. The prevalence of K. pneumoniae was 35.91% (65/181), and 100% of the bacteria were sensitive to enrofloxacin. Nine antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence genes were identified and compared among farms. The hypermucoviscous phenotype was present in 94.44% of isolates from farm B, which may be a function of the rmpA virulence gene. Based on these data, the multidrug-resistant strains SD-14 and HB-21 were chosen and sequenced. Genotypes were assayed for K. pneumoniae isolates from different countries and different hosts using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Ninety-four sequence types (STs) were found, and 6 STs present a risk for spreading in specific regions. Interestingly, ST43 was observed in bovine isolates for the first time. Our study partially reveals the current distribution characteristics of bovine K. pneumoniae in China and may provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of bovine K. pneumoniae mastitis. IMPORTANCE K. pneumonia is ubiquitous in nature and infects a wide range of hosts, including animals, and humans. It is one of the leading inducements of clinical mastitis (CM) in dairy cows, a prevalent and costly disease that is predominantly associated with bacterial infection. In general, CM caused by Gram-negative bacteria is more difficult to cure than that associated with Gram-positive pathogens, with an average cost per case of 211.03 U.S. dollars (USD) for Gram-negative bacterial infections compared with 133.73 USD for Gram-positive bacterial CM cases. After Escherichia coli, K. pneumoniae is the second most common Gram-negative cause of bovine CM, but it is the most detrimental in terms of decreased milk yield, discarded milk, treatment costs, death, and culling. In view of the economic implications of K. pneumoniae infection in dairy farming, research into population structure and antibiotic resistance is particularly important.
