Draft Genome Sequence of a Hypermucoviscous Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae Clinical Isolate

Genome Announc. 2016 Jul 7;4(4):e00475-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00475-16.

Abstract

A clinical isolate of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae 06-219 with hypermucoviscosity phenotypes obtained from a urine culture of an adult patient was used for whole-genome sequencing. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of this strain, consisting of 53 contigs with an ~5.6-Mb genome size and an average G+C content of 57.36%. The annotation revealed 6,622 coding DNA sequences and 77 tRNA genes.
