Complete genome sequence of an MDR and hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae strain KP99 isolated from a 62-year-old patient in Dalian, China.
We employed a PacBio-Illumina hybrid sequencing approach to sequence the strain KP99 isolated from the sputum of a clinical patient. Classified as ST592, KP99 carries multiple resistance genes (including blaSHV-26, fosA5, and oqxA/B) and harbors a hypervirulent factor system, including the rmpA gene linked to CPS and siderophore-associated genes.
