Draft Genomic Sequence for Klebsiella pneumoniae 060517CS3-g, a Bacterium Harboring Multidrug Resistance Genes, Isolated from Retail Ground Chicken Meat

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important foodborne pathogen that can cause human infections. Here, we report the draft genomic sequence for K. pneumoniae 060517CS3-g, isolated from retail ground chicken meat, which has several antibiotic resistance genes, multiple plasmids, and genes that may result in its hypervirulence based on the sequence data.
