Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence and antibiogram of a high-risk sequence type ST15 multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (Kleb009) from a neonatal blood culture from Ghana. Despite the public health importance of K. pneumoniae, genomic data on locally circulating strains are limited. This data will enhance antimicrobial resistance surveillance efforts.
