Whole-genome sequences of two carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strains isolated from a tertiary hospital in Johor, Malaysia

Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequences of two carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae obtained from two different patients. Both strains contained three different extended-spectrum -lactamase genes and showed strikingly high pairwise average nucleotide identity of 99.99% despite being isolated 3 years apart from the same hospital.
