Abstract

The genus Klebsiella comprises species that cause nosocomial and community-acquired infections. A dataset was created to compile the sequence type (ST) and capsule type (K-locus) information predicted for 172 worldwide isolates of Klebsiella spp. whose complete genomes could be retrieved from the GenBank (NCBI) repository. The dataset also includes information related to one multidrug-resistant strain (B31) isolated from a patient who was admitted to an intensive care unit in the Northeast region of Brazil. This strain was phenotypically characterized and submitted to whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics analysis as we recently reported [1]. The dataset also compiles information on Pathogenicity Islands (PIs), Resistance Islands (RIs) and Miscellaneous Islands (MIS) present in the genome of strain B31. The information provided here may support outbreak prevention policies and future epidemiological studies involving Klebsiella spp.
