Draft genome sequences of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> strains isolated from water and wastewater sources
Carbapenem-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is recognized by the World Health Organization as a major threat to global health. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing <i>K. pneumoniae</i> strains as part of an environmental surveillance of gram-negative bacteria isolated from various Lebanese environmental sources in 2023.
