Complete Genome Sequence of a bla_KPC-2-Positive Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Isolated from the Effluent of an Urban Sewage Treatment Plant in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and the bacteria that harbor them are widely distributed in the environment, especially in surface water, sewage treatment plant effluent, soil, and animal waste. In this study, we isolated a KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (GSU10-3) from a sampling site in Tokyo Bay, Japan, near a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and determined its complete genome sequence. Strain GSU10-3 is resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents (quinolones and aminoglycosides). This strain is classified as sequence type 11 (ST11), and a core genome phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain GSU10-3 is closely related to KPC-2-positive Chinese clinical isolates from 2011 to 2017 and is clearly distinct from strains isolated from th
