ABSTRACT Carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae , frequently conferred by the bla KPC gene, is a major public health threat. We sequenced a bla KPC -containing strain of K. pneumoniae belonging to the emergent lineage ST941, in order to better understand the evolution of bla KPC within this species.
