Complete genome sequences of colistin-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolates from rectal swab samples of intensive care unit patients at a tertiary hospital in Kampala, Uganda
Hospital-acquired infections caused by multidrug-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> are steadily increasing worldwide. Here, we report complete genome sequences of colistin-resistant <i>K. pneumoniae</i> isolates from rectal swab samples of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Genome size in each strain varied with mean genome size of 5,335,766 bp and GC content averaging 57.48%.
