Genome Assembly of Klebsiella oxytoca NJDOH Control Strain
This study presents the draft genome assembly of *Klebsiella oxytoca* NJDOH control strain, a reference strain used for studying nosocomial infections and antibiotic resistance. The genomic DNA was sequenced using Illumina MiSeq technology, generating paired-end reads with an average coverage of 250x. De novo assembly was performed using SPAdes (version 3.15.5), resulting in a draft genome consisting of multiple scaffolds. The assembled genome provides insights into the genetic makeup of *Klebsiella oxytoca*, facilitating comparative genomic studies and investigations into its pathogenicity and resistance mechanisms. This dataset is contributing to the broader understanding of bacterial genomics in clinical settings. Functional annotation was performed using DFAST and RAST to identify genes and potential resistance markers.
