Draft genome sequences of three multidrug-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> strains isolated from alfalfa sprouts in Germany

Multidrug-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> are a threat to public health. Here, we present draft genomes of three recent <i>K. pneumoniae</i> isolates from alfalfa sprouts which reveal multiple resistance genes including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and key virulence factors. Findings underscore the role of plant-based foods as potential reservoirs of clinically relevant bacteria.
