# Draft genome sequence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST6260 isolated from the catheter tip of a female patient in Nepal

## TL;DR

This paper reports the draft genome sequence of a drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a patient in Nepal.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of a carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae ST6260 strain from Nepal.

## Key findings

- A carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST6260 was isolated from a catheter tip in a female patient.
- The genome sequence was generated to better understand its resistance mechanisms and potential for spread.

## Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic human pathogen, particularly associated with nosocomial infections and multidrug resistance. Here, we present a draft genome sequence of a carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae ST6260 isolated from the catheter tip of a female patient in a referral case received at Kathmandu Model Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
