# Draft genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from neonatal bloodstream infections at SRHU, Dehradun, India

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequences of five drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from neonatal blood infections in India.

## Contribution

The study provides new genome sequences of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains from a specific Indian hospital.

## Key findings

- Five K. pneumoniae strains were isolated from neonatal bloodstream infections.
- Whole-genome sequencing was performed to analyze the multidrug-resistant strains.

## Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, causes pneumonia, blood infection, meningitis along with several wound and surgical site infections and has become a leading cause of multidrug-resistant nosocomial infection. Here we present the whole-genome sequences for five K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical samples, Dehradun, India.
