Complete Genome Sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. <i>pneumoniae</i> KP617, Coproducing OXA-232 and NDM-1 Carbapenemases, Isolated in South Korea

Abstract

The prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae coproducing carbapenemase metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) and OXA-48 has been increasing globally since 2013. The complete genome of KP617 was sequenced and assembled into a circular chromosome and two plasmids. This sequence provides the genetic background for understanding the evolution of carbapenemase genes in K. pneumoniae KP617.
