Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important foodborne pathogen that can cause human infections. Here, we report the draft genomic sequence for K. pneumoniae 060517CS3-g, isolated from retail ground chicken meat, which has several antibiotic resistance genes, multiple plasmids, and genes that may result in its hypervirulence based on the sequence data.
