Complete Genome Sequence Of Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strain Atcc 43816 Kppr1, A Rifampin-Resistant Mutant Commonly Used In Animal, Genetic, And Molecular Biology Studies

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an urgent public health threat due to the spread of carbapenem-resistant strains causing serious, and frequently fatal, infections. To facilitate genetic, molecular, and immunological studies of this pathogen, we report the complete chromosomal sequence of a genetically tractable, prototypical strain used in animal models.
