Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) of sequence type 11 (ST11) and capsular type KL47 or KL64 are dominant in China. We report the draft genome sequence of an ST11 bla KPC-2 -carrying CRKP strain belonging to uncommon capsular type KL62. This strain carries virulence factors encoding multiple iron acquisition systems and mucoid regulators.
