## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of six Klebsiella strains from South Korean agricultural sources, highlighting their antimicrobial resistance.

## Contribution

The study provides new draft genomes of Klebsiella spp. from agricultural settings in South Korea, revealing plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance.

## Key findings

- Genome sizes ranged from 5.25 to 6.21 Mbp with GC content between 55.64% and 57.55%.
- Multiple plasmid sequences were identified in each strain, indicating antimicrobial resistance potential.

## Abstract

This report outlines the draft genome sequences of six Klebsiella spp. strains from South Korea’s agricultural produce and environments. Genome sizes ranged from 5.25 to 6.21 Mbp with 55.64% to 57.55% GC content. Each strain contained multiple plasmid sequences identified by PlasmidFinder, indicating significant antimicrobial resistance.
