Draft genome and antibiotic resistance profile of a multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae-ST152 strain KA017_S253 from a neonatal blood culture in Ghana

Bloodstream infection and neonatal sepsis pose a significant public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa. To support drug discovery, surveillance, and vaccine development prospects, genomic data on resistance are needed. We present a draft genome and antibiogram of a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae-ST152 strain KA017_S253, recovered from a neonate.
