# Draft genome sequences of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from water and wastewater sources

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of four antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains found in water and wastewater in Lebanon.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data on NDM-producing K. pneumoniae strains from environmental sources in Lebanon.

## Key findings

- Four NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were isolated from environmental samples in Lebanon.
- Draft genome sequences of these strains were generated for further analysis and surveillance.

## Abstract

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized by the World Health Organization as a major threat to global health. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing K. pneumoniae strains as part of an environmental surveillance of gram-negative bacteria isolated from various Lebanese environmental sources in 2023.
