Background and objective(s) CRISPR-Cas is a prokaryotic adaptive immune system that protects bacteria and archaea against mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages plasmids, and transposons. In this study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of the CRISPR-Cas systems and their association with antibiotic resistance in one of the most challenging bacterial pathogens, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Materials and methods A total of 105 K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from various clinical infections. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) phenotypically were detected and the presence of ESBL, aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AME), and CRISPR-Cas system subtype genes were identified using PCR. Moreover, the diversity of the isolates was determined by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR. Results Phenotypically, 41.9% (44/105) of the isolates were found to be ESBL producers. A significant inverse correlation existed between the subtype I-E CRISPR-Cas system’s presence and ESBL production in K. pneumoniae isolates. Additionally, the frequency of the ESBL genes blaCTX−M1 (3%), blaCTX−M9 (12.1%), blaSHV (51.5%), and blaTEM (33.3%), as well as some AME genes such as aac(3)-Iva (21.2%) and ant(2’’)-Ia (3%) was significantly lower in the isolates with the subtype I-E CRISPR-Cas system in comparison to CRISPR-negative isolates. There was a significant inverse correlation between the presence of ESBL and some AME genes with subtype I-E CRISPR-Cas system. Conclusion The presence of the subtype I-E CRISPR-Cas system was correlated with the antibiotic-resistant gene (ARGs). The isolates with subtype I-E CRISPR-Cas system had a lower frequency of ESBL genes and some AME genes than CRISPR-negative isolates.
