# Draft genome sequence of an XDR Klebsiella pneumoniae strain NGCE-700 isolated from human blood sample in Dhaka, Bangladesh

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain from a blood infection in Bangladesh.

## Contribution

The study provides a new genome sequence of an XDR K. pneumoniae strain from Bangladesh.

## Key findings

- The genome is 5.53 Mb with nine contigs and an N50 of 5.49 Mb.
- It contains multiple resistance genes and plasmids linked to its XDR phenotype.

## Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of the extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain NGCE-700 isolated from a bacteremia patient in Bangladesh. The 5.53 Mb genome comprises nine contigs with N50 5.49 Mb and guanine or cytosine content of 57.3% and harbors multiple resistant genes and plasmids consistent with its XDR phenotype.
