Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae strain WCHKP1845, recovered from the sputum of a patient with pneumonia, was resistant to colistin and carried the carbapenemase gene bla_NDM-1 Here, we report its 5.4-Mb draft genome sequence, comprising 140 contigs with an average 57.33% G+C content. The genome contains 5,118 coding sequences and 88 tRNA genes.
