Background: Chryseobacterium indologenes, an environmental bacterium, is increasingly recognized as an emerging nosocomial pathogen, particularly in Asia, and is often characterized by multidrug resistance. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the genomic features of clinical C. indologenes isolates from Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Thailand, to understand their mechanisms of multidrug resistance, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Methods: Twelve C. indologenes isolates were identified, and their antibiotic susceptibility profiles were determined. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using a hybrid approach combining Illumina short-reads and Oxford Nanopore long-reads to generate complete bacterial genomes. The hybrid assembled genomes were subsequently analyzed to detect antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, virulence factors, and MGEs. Results: C. indologenes isolates were primarily recovered from urine samples of hospitalized elderly male patients with underlying conditions. These isolates generally exhibited extensive drug resistance, which was subsequently explored and correlated with genomic determinants. With one exception, CMCI13 showed a lower resistance profile (Multidrug resistance, MDR). Genomic analysis revealed isolates with genome sizes of 4.83-5.00 Mb and GC content of 37.15-37.35%. Genomic characterization identified conserved resistance genes (bla(IND-2), bla(CIA-4), adeF, vanT, and qacG) and various virulence factors. Phylogenetic and pangenome analysis showed 11 isolates clustering closely with Chinese strain 3125, while one isolate (CMCI13) formed a distinct branch. Importantly, each isolate, except CMCI13, harbored a large genomic island (approximately 94-100 kb) carrying significant resistance genes (bla(OXA-347), tetX, aadS, and ermF). The absence of this genomic island in CMCI13 correlated with its less resistant phenotype. No plasmids, integrons, or CRISPR-Cas systems were detected in any isolate. Conclusions: This study highlights the alarming emergence of multidrug-resistant C. indologenes in a hospital setting in Thailand. The genomic insights into specific resistance mechanisms, virulence factors, and potential horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events, particularly the association of a large genomic island with the XDR phenotype, underscore the critical need for continuous genomic surveillance to monitor transmission patterns and develop effective treatment strategies for this emerging pathogen.
