Draft genome sequence of multidrug resistant klebsiella pneumoniae strain C43 isolated from environmental water sample

Here, we report the genome of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strain C43, which was isolated from an environmental water sample. The genome is 5,614,412 bp in size with GC content of 56.86% with multidrug antimicrobial resistance genes and several metal resistance gene operons.Ministry of Education (MOE)Nanyang Technological UniversityPublished versionThis work was supported by the Singapore Ministry of Education under its Academic Research Fund Tier 1 RG87/21, Research Centre for Excellence IDMxS, and a pilot grant from the Centre for Global Health, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (awarded to E.P.H.Y.).
