Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae CCRI-22199, isolated from a patient from India treated in Quebec City, Canada. Genes encoding beta-lactamases NDM-1 and CTX-M-15 were identified on two distinct plasmids. While the chromosome is similar to that of strain BAA-2146, CCRI-22199 provides a further example of rearrangements in plasmids.
