Draft genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from neonatal bloodstream infections at SRHU, Dehradun, India

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, causes pneumonia, blood infection, meningitis along with several wound and surgical site infections and has become a leading cause of multidrug-resistant nosocomial infection. Here we present the whole-genome sequences for five K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical samples, Dehradun, India.
