title: Draft genome sequence of an extremely drug-resistant KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 epidemic strain.
abstract: Extremely drug-resistant (XDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing clone ST258 has rapidly disseminated worldwide. We report here the draft genome sequence of the K. pneumoniae ST258 XDR clinical strain from Israel.
